From the start of each race, the NS14 “Superfly” of Tony Hastings and Luca Dorrough pointed higher and sailed faster than the competition to win both races on Wallagoot Lake.

The club’s intrepid reporter Tony Hastings said: “The real heroism of the day was onshore, where everyone helped each other rig or fix their boats, loan each other boats, lift them onto the racks at the end of the day, or give up sailing to run the races.
“There is a wonderful sense of community, friendship and happiness shared at Wallagoot. Later this week we look forward to volunteering at a Peer Support Camp, taking kids out for sailing experiences.”
Second in race one was Brian Wright on his Caribou trailer-sailor “Dear One”.
Ian Wood and Jarrah Dorrough scored third on NS14 “Australian Graffiti”, an NS14 borrowed from Josh Dorrough. They adapted quickly to the unfamiliar boat and took second place in race two.
Third in race two was Greg Thornton’s Laser Radial, who sailed well but was underpowered in the light conditions.
Two identical Maricats of Terry Ubrihien and Alan Holbrook raced closely and finished in that order in both races.
The club welcomed Josh and Annabel Dorrough’s new NS14, “Big Daddy Potato”, and their efforts to help grow the fleet at Wallagoot.
Next Saturday two Handicap Start races will be the last of the year, then sailing returns to the lake on January 14.
