Nathan,

I can only hope that suggested these two events in jest.

I cannot begin to imagine what would happen if somebody sent the trouble and strife to a body painting festival then a bike and hot rod show at Maitland.

Can you organise a paternity test open day for MPSC's summer event

Day 1 of the regatta was run today with three races held this afternoon in a light SE breeze. Great to see about 15 competitors including Roger, David Howe, Christoffe and Remi up from Sydney.

In the open fleet Byron and Steve Walsh were the top finishers while Barry Fawkes loved the light conditions and is easily ahead in the FE+.

Forecast for tomorrow is looking much better, so anyone is welcome to enter for just the day. A reminder that the first possible race is scheduled for 11am.

At the end of racing, we will have the presentation, and then the BBQ will follow straight after. Looking forward to some more racing tomorrow.

Cheers
James

Day 2 of the regatta was another challenging day for the race directors, with the wind gusting and swirling around between S and NE for most of the day. Two more races were completed.

Thanks to all who came along and competed. Thanks also to those who helped out with the organisation.

Results from the weekend and overall standings in the series will be posted in the next few days.

Look forward to seeing lots of people up here for Heat 4 of the series - the Midwinter regatta in July.

cheers
