ACYC Club Sailing
Race Report 4 - Sunday October 3

Skipper's view from Simone's bow

Good winds greeted the eight boats participating in Race 4 of the Tamarind Villa Services Series allowing for a day that saw some healthy competition and with various tacks and spinnaker hoists around Koh Bon, Koh Lon and two sausages in the bay.

In her first ACYC race, Sidewinder showed the stuff she's made of, crossing both the starting and finishing lines first and leaving fellow Racing Multihulls Charro and Niña to battle it out. At the end of the day, it was Charro who finished second but Niña who took second on corrected time.

Racing saw Emerald Blue take the lead from the start with Minx catching up on the reach to Koh Bon to finish first for the day. Simone meanwhile trailed the two, finishing in third.

The two boats in Cruising, Chetak and The Four Winds, sailed the shorter course around Koh Lon with Chetak taking the top podium spot.

A good day to be out on the water!
