ASP/ IBS Youth Regatta First day 23rd October

The day was perfect, sunny , blue skies, sparkling water and light breeze- great conditions for the 15 or so dinghies, sabots and optimist class boats that headed out to the harbour. A sizable fleet from Keppel Bay Sailing Club made the effort to travel to join the regatta.

Gedrick was back in action after it's little prop repair, so our esteemed Commodore took us out to test the waters, creating a rooster tail in his wake!

nice sense of speed on a V8 weekend!
