Thank's Barb Short your a marvel, the juniors did the melon race on Saturday, my jaw still aches from laughing. We had four cats and two 420's compete In 4 knots of wind I used round pie melons, didn't grease them and just threw them off the back of the rescue boat while I went along and let them all at it to get as many as they could. Not one collision and the sailing skills were fantastic, some jumped off their boats and swam for the melon making the skipper pick them up, one little girl's 420 was going too fast she got a good hold of the melon but got pulled of the boat head first and she came up still holding the melon. My 9yo son Eoin skippering for the first time solo, jumped off his Arafura cadet to swim for a melon only to have to swim hard to catch his cat. They all elected not to race just played the melon game for 90 minutes entertaining the people on the beach.
