Horizon Sprint by Alex McKinnon
John Curnow, Thursday, 22 March 2012
Last Call!!!
Yep. Just like the pub in the old days, it's time for the last call. The 2011/12 Club Marine Series will have the seventh and last round, this Saturday, March 24, which will be hosted by the Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron.
The Race Committee have elected to offer one race for each of Divisions One, Two and Three, with Div0 getting up to three races for the day. You'll be out racing in the top of the Bay on the Western and Eastern Courses. Go HERE to download the NTC.
What else will you be doing, then? Well some of you have some unfinished business if you want to be in the Silverware. Let's check it out... And we are not going to check out the weather - you know I am not a fan of predictions for Port Phillip, but spraying the wet weather gear may well be the prudent choice!!!

Calm should take Div0 IRC, but the other two will be fighting to see which the way the minors go...

Not a lot of spread there, so you'd be thinking they'll have a red-hot stoush...

Sailed to within an inch of it's life and then spruced up ready for action again, Veloce have half a point - for now! The always-out-on-the-track Goldfinger to get two minors, it would seem.

Talking of getting around a track well, the little Hick with the big stick! Just have a look at whom they've trounced to get there - very impressive. Probably hard for 4 to 8 to make a dent, but wow, that is one crowd to hold your head high in...

If I say, 'Go Outlaw!', does it look obvious???
Right. There you have the long and not so short of it. Happy racing, happy celebrating afterwards and if it is commiserations, keep yourself nice! (Please).
