The last day gave some exciting racing ..




                           

The last day of racing dawned with a heavy downpour , humid conditions and not a ripple on the water .
The Rib team from Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club didn't mind 

This could be interesting 



                                                          There was plenty of water splash



                                                                 Fast reaches,
                                                         Standing tall
                                                        colour in abundance
                                                          crowded buoy roundings
                                                                sailing in synchro

                                                           resting between races for Josh
                                                                    A fast start in Race Two
                                                             racing to the wing mark

                                                      Michael was still in form
                                                                  there was midd pack chaos






                                                    until they sorted out a line to follow
there were gentleman sailors 

                                            there was a winners back flip by David Mann !
                                                               Phil was ready for the last run
                                                                      the was no let up of pressure



                                                  the wind swung around ...


                                                   and it all started to look exciting

                                                            still they kept on coming




                                              Chad showed us what athletic means  !!

                                                 the whole fleet was looking classy !




                                           the fleet kept on coming .. a little separated now
