Haysons Christmas Regatta

WYAC would like to thank the Haysons day care centre, and the entire Haysons family for hosting the Annual Christmas regatta. Also a special thanks to the additional sponsors and Manager Geoff, and staff for hosting a well run and memorable event. Sunday afternoon lunch was also much appreciated after two good days sailing.

The Christmas tree with our residents Santa Claus must also get a special thank you. Santa arrived by boat, and just seeing the kids facial expression and excitement was so worth having an early Christmas. Alex I’m not sure has been a good boy this year, but Santa gave him the benefit of the doubt.

First place when to Craig and Rory Hay, second to Barry Ogilvie and John Wegerle, third to Steven and Devon Matthews (close racing with the 3 top spots separated by a single point each) and the most improved sailing incentive prize went to Jacque and Sadie Behr sailing their Sprog

Opening Cruise 19 August 2019

The day started of cold and very windy  with the traditional sail past and salute to the new Commodore – Barry Ogilvie who looked quite spiffy in his jacket, tie and Commodore cap. The Holiday was spruced up and had all the pennants flying quite stiffly in the breeze. After the sail past the racing was started and we did 2 races in nice steady wind averaging 12 Kn out the North. The racing was tight with Mike and Pikkie swopping results and Pikkie winning on the count back – well done Pikkie & Zenobia.
