Race 2 of the 2012-13 interclub series was contested last Saturday 24th November, sailed for the first time over a longer marathon course with an earlier start (1pm). MPASC turned on some great weather, and excellent course, and fine hospitality after the race, which made for another day of close racing and socialising between the clubs. MPASC convincingly took the points in Div 1 (pending a stewards enquiry and drugs test on the crew of Karloo which also won race 1???), with Div 2 coming to the rescue for SLMASC with a narrow points win (1st My Cole, 2nd Sail-la-vie).
Unfortunately MPASC have slightly stretched their overall lead at the half way mark of the 4 race series and SLMASC will need a big effort in the remaining 2 races to turn the tide and hang on to the trophy for another year. Race 3 will again be a marathon race, but this time sailed on our home waters, so mark the date on your calendar for Saturday 16th Feb 2013 and plan to sail join team SLMASC as we need every boat in our fleet on the water for race 3 to help even the ledger before the final and deciding race 4 in March.
Full interclub results have been posted on the Interclub Events page of the website.
Well done to all who sailed in Team SLMASC in race 2 …. and we hope to see all boats turn out for race 3 on Saturday 16th Feb 2013.
Smooth Sailing
Team SLMASC
