Sprint RacingSprint racing was on the cards due to the Laser National Masters in Queensland.PRO Dave Airey reports on the day’s happenings.The forecast for Saturday was for winds of 5 to 8 knots but this did not deter about 30 keen sailors who turned up on another sunny afternoon on the Harbour. We had the Harbour to ourselves as all the yachts and other dinghies appeared to have already stopped for winter. Three sprint style races were completed, with a gradually shrinking course as the winds lightened and shifted around from SE to the south. We tested out the Winter Course and its associated starting sequence, and all went smoothly with everyone well behaved at the start. Conditions were similar to the normal winter experience except that the light and shifty wind was from the SSE rather than the west.
