For
those of you interested in sailing a Corsair in Tassie, informal races
were conducted at Low Head on the 14th and 28th of January 07. Low Head
is 35 odd minutes north of Launceston at the mouth of the Tamar River
The 28th was cancelled due to excessive wind (40 knots and 1.5 metres of
good old Bass Strait swell). The event held on the 14th was open to
three divisions - Corsairs, small dinghy's and historic craft.
The
organisers were delighted with a good turnout in all divisions, but
most importantly 8 Corsairs
of mixed vintage competed in 15 to 25 knot
winds and a 1 metre swell. Needless to say the downhill leg made for
some interesting sailing. None of us were game to fly a kite - we just
hung on and surfed. Bloody marvelous fun. |
