'GROWING PORT VINCENT MOZZIE FLEET'
Andy, having picked up '17XX', now to be known as 'Red Mist' from Kingston SE is the latest addition to our fleet here at Pt Vincent. Andy doesn't have much small boat racing experience, but is a competitive sportsman and has plenty of big-cat racing and cruising hours behind him.
...And so we had a 5 boat fleet in last weeks race, which saw us begin in fickle NW and finish in strong but shifty SSE breezes. Again there were many lead and positional changes as all boats had a chance at the pointy end. Eventually 'To Be Sure' took the race from 'Goodnight Nurse' , closely followed 'Stubbhorn' and 'Epi'. 'Red Mist' retired as the wind increased due to steering issues.
Yesterday, in a growing seabreeze, TBS, GN and RM went for a brief but entertaining practice sail. GN suffered a few injuries that need to be fixed before nationals, and we all has a few thrill rides in the flat water.
There are now AT LEAST 3 folk around our way seeking mozzies in the new year or for next season. If you want to sell a boat, let us know, and your more than half a chance!

Happy new year to all, see you at the Nats!
