15 boats turned out for a weekend of racing in sunny Queensland, so it was cloudy with showers and big wind shifts on Saturday.  Sailed 2 races Saturday on the normal RQYS course with line starts, wind was 8 to 15 knots from the east.  Sunday we had 3 races with gate starts, still cloudy but not so much rain, wind 12 to 15 knots from the east and not so shifty.  Thanks to Bill Cuneo for liason with RQYS, John Warlow for the RIB, Brad Givanan for being starter and Dick Machin for providing the finish boat and helping Brad.  The racing was close as usual with plenty of ups and downs in the results, details here.  Top 5 places were: Nigel Lott / Bob Franks 10 points, Earle Alexander / Ian Gregg 11 points (2 heat wins), Bill Cuneo / John Warlow 11 points (1 heat win), Brett Beyer / Darren Gilbert 12 points, Claus Ejlertsen / Mick Patrick 15 points.  Hope to have some pics from Dick Machin soon.
