Easter seen the Cobden fleet spread over two regatta’s the Mossies at St Lennard’s and Tom on his Laser at Indented Head

St Lennard’s Regatta Friday to Sunday no Monday racing. Friday Mornings race seen six A Class, one F18 and one arrow, winds 15 knots, just a perfect way to start a weekends sailing. Friday afternoon winds built to 20 knots plus and that short St Lennard’s chop. The fleet was the same as the morning except for a sloop mossie with spin replacing the F18. After an hour all boats had retired some with breakages. The score at the end of the day was three broken centre boards, one be-laminated deck and a two part sail.
Saturday morning race started with five to eight knots with a smaller fleet but two sloop mossies with spin’s and the F18 back on the water. The afternoon race was in lighter conditions three to five knots.
Sunday morning’s race was in 12 to 15 knots and the afternoon race was postponed until 4.00pm and sailed in 8 to 12 knots.
No Monday racing so the Mossies sailed up the coast to Indented Head just in time to catch the last race of the Indented Head regatta. We were invited to race by a number of the locals. The Cat started first in Div five with the skiffs and the second start didn’t happen because of lack of breeze. Our race was over at the top mark when it was cancelled due to a lack of wind.
All in all at St Lennard’s six races in every condition from 3 to 20 plus knots a great place to sail rigging on the grass at the side of the club with a small fleet of cats and mono’s about 15 or so. Indented Head had 35 plus boats mostly monos and a couple of cats. Both clubs are very friendly and well worth a look next year.
