It is my pleasure on behalf of Elwood Sailing Club to thank all who helped and contributed to a very successful regatta last Saturday.
It was our new Club Manager, Brett Nangle’s first week with us and I congratulate him for his organisational skills and willingness to help out. Thanks to Mark White for the handover.
In particular I wish to thank the following and their teams. Ken Robinson for the preparatory work Mark Foster (PRO) and his starting Team Rob McQuade and Croften Dawson for patrol boats Our Chef, Joseph, The grounds teams, Kitchen and Bar Staff Tower staff. Many people executed more than one task.
My thanks also go to the Commodores and members of the participating clubs for arranging extra patrol boats and rescue personnel. I thank the all the competitors whose participation made the event worthwhile.
Lastly and most importantly I would like to thank Alison Penington for her perseverance in getting the results finalised in world record time.
The scores are as follows:
- Elwood Sailing Club score 24.24
- Port Melbourne Yacht Club score 24.42
- Altona Yacht Club score 25.27
The scores were extremely close and hopefully sets the scene for next year when Port Melbourne Yacht Club will be hosting the Top of The Bay Regatta on their 100th anniversary. I encourage everyone to support next year’s event.
Good Sailing
