Winter Series progress update 2023

Well after 4 races, spread over 2 brilliant weekends of racing on the stunning waters of Bramble Bay, the results are starting to add up in the QCYC Gladstone Ports Corporation Winter Series.
 
As always, a performance handicap has been assigned for each and every boat coming from all over the Bay, using recent event data. As each race is won and lost, this handicap is corrected so that the points reward improving boats and crews.
 
Both weekends have been sailed in beautiful 5 to 8 knot winds and flat water, leading into next weekend’s traveller series with more boats expected to be coming from further diverse parts of the Bay. Throughout the series, the emphasis has been on fun, and spectators from all over are welcome at QCYC before and after the event, as well as on the Shorncliffe headland.
 
In the speedy Division 1, local boat Invader, with Jack Morrison, has benefited from a recent extensive refit, to narrowly dominate the points score ahead of Sandgate Yacht Club’s perennial winner Suzanne.
 
Division 2 was going to be tight with the growing numbers of Tasman Seabird Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race race winners sporting new sails for the regatta. But the visitor from Scarborough, Fifty/50 is a clear leader ahead of another Sandgate Yacht Club boat Leviosa.
 
The multihulls are biding their time waiting for rig-stretching winds with Full Bore narrowly holding the lead over sister ship Betty Boop.
Racing this weekend is on Sunday 25th June from 10.55 am.
 
Enjoy the pictures of the fleet.
