The race scheduled for 20 April, 2024 was cancelled due to high wind forecast. The next race is a Pointscore Event on Saturday 27 April 2024 with Damien Bates nominated for duty. See you all there and then!
The last race was a Pointscore event sailed in ideal 7-12 knot SE to SSE winds and sunny conditions. There were lots of 'lighter patches' and wind shifts that made for tricky conditions. There were 7 starters. Thanks to Greg Thornton and helper who did a wonderful job on the start boat with a leg length of 1.2 km providing a 90-110 minute duration race which was ideal for the handicaps. The winners on the day were Jacob Bates (Finn), Mike Wootten (Laser Full), David Bannell (Finn), Damien Bates (Finn), Richard Pryor (Laser Radial) with the lead bunch changing throughout the race. John Anderson (Hunter 216) and Brett Collier (Laser Full) retired in the fading breeze. Overall it was a wonderful day's racing on the bay!
The draft overall winners in the Championship are: Merv Lotze (Spiral), Damien Bates (Finn), Richard Pryor (Laser Radial, 4.7), and David Ginty (Aero, 5, 7, 9).
For the Sprints the leaders are: Merv Lotze (Spiral), David Ginty (Aero 5, 7, 9), Richard Pryor (Laser Radial).

JBSC has successfully delivered a 4 day RS Sailboard National Championships on the beautiful waters of Jervis Bay, with 11 races completed for the series.
With the assistance of many club volunteers, you always know it's been a great regatta delivery when world class sailors come to you (including an Olympic qualifier team member) at the end and congratulate the club on a great regatta.
The club is very grateful for the time given by volunteers in Merv, Richard, John, Dave, David, Bill, Di, Blue, Rob and Mike fearlessly led by PRO Mark.
