It was good to see so many boats and teams get out on the water racing at RPAYC. The fleet is quite mixed with some light weight harbour race boats, some heavier fast cruisers and some larger cruisers. The handicapper as always sorted it out and although conditions can favour different types of boats on the day, the results were well shared over the season. Participation was strong with 15 or more boats competing in the four Wednesday Series, the Broken Bay Series, the Pittwater Inshore Series and the popular Lion Island Series. Overall there were nine different boats taking series victories. Special congratulations to Richard Harris and the Sticky team, Allen Stormon and Gezzabelle team, and Julian Noakes and the Starlight team for notching up two series victories each. Fleet 2 appreciates that we only get to go racing thanks to all the volunteers that made our racing possible so a special thank you to this group. Congratulations go to the following skippers and teams for their series victories in Fleet 2.
