Day 1 of the Flying Fifteen QLD Champs—what a ride! The NE’ers are back and they didn’t hold back, with gusts up to 25kts and a rolling swell that felt like someone had the fire hose on full blast. Some crews played it safe without spinnakers, others hung on tight.
The RO called it after one race (triangle‑sausage‑triangle) and wisely raised N over A. The “scorecard” for the day:
Gooseneck: 1
Tiller: 1
Forestay: 1
MOB: 1
VHF radio: 1
Rescue boat: 1
Every boat, crew, and bit of gear made it safely back to the club. Race 3 kicks off tomorrow at 10:00!
