SPRING POINT SCORE Races 1 & 2By Murray StoneLast Saturday saw a magnificent start to the 2024 Spring Pointscore series with the weather gods giving their blessing and delivering blue skies, a pleasant 22 degrees and a relatively consistent 10 knot north north easterly – a pleasant surprise given the harbour was looking like glass during the morning’s Learn to Race session. The forecasted afternoon 6 knot northwesterly and late shift into the south west didn’t eventuate, much to the delight of the fleet of around 40 sailors.Both the Radial and Standard fleets got away without troubling the starter on a course accommodating the northerly gradient in the breeze. The wing mark was set not far off Clark Island and while this resulted in a deep first reach, it made for a tight bottom reach with most sailors working the leg and enjoying some good rides in the lighter conditions.
