Posted on 21 November 2010 by ESC Admin

ESC and Windsurfing Victoria ran a series of 3 Sternchaser races in rapid succession in filthy brown bay rainy conditions with a lot of fun by all. Duncan Banks blitzed the field on a borrowed Super X Board.

Race 1	Duncan	Mat	Paul
Race 2	Tony	Andrew	Duncan
Race 3	Duncan	Tony	Mat

Overall	Duncan	Tony	Mat

It was great to see every one stay on for the after-sail drinks and bbq and be joined by friends and families. Thanks to Giles for persevering in the rain to cook up what must be the best bbq cookup we have had yet.
