27th March 2012 Footy Event at Powells Pool
report by Peter J Henderson

The first official Footy race took place (results below) on Tuesday 27 March, a day which was more like midsummer than late March. Ten competitors took part (excellent) experiencing light South easterly airs with all the anomalies that that brings beats turning into runs etc. The most used hull type was PJH’s 1299 (8) with a Half pint 2 and 507 completing the line up. Thanks to Allan Coleman & team for covering the OOD role and of course the galley crew. GT.

Thanks to Clive Heartland for retrieving my boat that sailed itself across the lake with RX not turned on! Well done Robin Webb for having a very successful trial, first Footy sail and even coping with a swing rig... Graham... we are all in awe of your 'Posh sails' design that worked so well..AGAIN..
