Only three yachts
remained at sea today in the Audi Sydney Offshore Newcastle
Yacht Race, and now all three have finished, bringing the
Cruising Yacht Club of Australia organised race to a close
for another year.
Andrew Wenham’s Peterson 44, SES Inch By Winch
(CYCA/RSYS) finished shortly after 8.00am this morning
taking 1day 20hrs 07min 44sec to complete the course,
with Niven James’ Simpson 11, Menace (LMYC), arriving
at the Hunter River finish line at 9.21am. |

The two crews
were enjoying breakfast at the Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club
this morning, along with some Club officials who had spent
the entire race on the finish vessel.
Finally, John Taylor and his resilient crew sailed Taylor’s
Cavalier 395, Allegro (RSYS), to the finish line shortly
after 4.34pm. The NSW boat finished the 213 nautical
mile race, which started on Sydney Harbour on Friday
at midday, in 2 days 04hr 34min 52sec. |

A slow upwind
race sailed in light north-easterlies the entire way for
the 25 yachts that originally started the race; it was a
significant one, being the decider for the CYCA’s prestigious
Blue Water Pointscore and Tasman Performance Series.
Last night, the top three in Tasman Performance Series
were thought to be Ed Psaltis/Bob Thomas’ AFR Midnight
Rambler, Steven Proud’s Swish and Robin and Annette
Hawthorn’s Imagination. However, SES Inch by Winch
has provisionally nudged Imagination out of third place
by .3 of a point, due to average points given for the
Cabbage Tree Island Race! |

| SES Inch by
Winch also placed second overall in the PHS class behind
The Stick (the former Broomstick) skippered by Rick Christian
(CYCA), with Lisdillon, Desmond Fagan’s Seaquest 36
(CYCA), third.
Under ORCi, Colin and Gladys Woods’ Pretty Fly
III won from Syd Fischer’s Ragamuffin and Steven
Proud’s Swish, all CYCA members.
All winners will be awarded their trophies at the
Audi Winter Series cocktail party on Thursday April
8 at the CYCA.
