Point to Point Classic 1 - Results

Published Sun 29 Jan 2017

The Point to Point classic took sailors from a Le Mans start on a course that took them to Pt Leo in the west and, for the faster boats, the Somers Water Tower in the east.  Southerly winds of 10-15 knots made for an excellent sail.  A dozen boats entered the race.

Division 1 (yardstick corrected times):

1. Hobie 16 - Wankenobi - Vincent Cross, Will Fleming - 2:14:53

2. Hobie 16 - Florence - Xavier Vandame, Laurinda Dugay - 2:17:06

Kai Smith had a good crack at the course in the little O'pen BIC but didn't manage to complete it before the swells got the better of him.
