7 February 2012 Tuesday night race

A rising 20 knot southerly greeted the 19 hardy paddlers in this weeks Tuesday night race. We raced two laps from Hataitai beach, down inshore of all the moored boats to the Marina breakwater, then along Cobham Drive. Some 'close' racing was seen in the 'fight' for B grade and Ian Gillies has convinced me once and for all that he's a B grader.

Best of luck to AJ, Matt, James, and any other Wellingtonians heading down to the Coast to Coast.
