Weather is predicted to be light showers Saturday and Sunday with light to moderate winds around 10 - 15 knots.
Weather is looking to be holding up.

Well, the water was EXCELLENT for practice today. Let's hope the conditions remain the same for the rest of the weekend.

Thankfully I finished my 4S Delta Force 33 this morning. Gave it 3 runs, and it runs really well. I'm definitely a DF33 fan! It's frog-green with no decals though, so no photos....

But here's some pics of some of the other boats in action today. Including Dave's 4S Villain S1 tunnel, Heath's Whiplash, BBY SJ and DF33, Kris's Whiplash and Kris's Viper & Seaducer 33.

Few more - Shane's 4S Syncron, 6S DF33 and 6S/10S Ice rigger. Steve's 6S Ice rigger.

The finish on Shane's boats is amazing, my little digital camera does not do them any justice.

Racing tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get some time to shoot more photos.

[Scott T]

Well, the racing is all done! 2 days of fast electric action we'll all remember. Top effort from all of our sponsors, and John and Trevor for running the show.

I'll let Trevor put up the results, as I don't have the information. But Shane Deacon put on a stellar performance to claim 9 trophies from 10 classes - Huge effort Shane!

Here's a couple of pictures of my boats - my DF33 that came 2nd in 4S Mono, and my poor Whiplash that came to grief in it's second heat. Thankfully it's repairable, so it will be back in action for our next club meeting.

Cheers,
Scott

Nice effort Scott, 2nd in 4s mono with DF 33 great, pity about the Blazer whiplash though. It was obviously a great weekend . How many competitors in total? What motor are you running in the DF. Before you smacked the whip how was it going?

[Scott T]

Thanks Andy.

Both boats normally run a 1515/1Y. The Whip had an 8XL in it to run in the Restricted class. I won the first heat, and the boat was running great. But I made contact into a turn with another boat (maybe I was a bit ambitous when I saw that gap ), and I think I glanced off the other boat and collected a buoy. The buoys were a little unforgiving.

The DF was great, I'm really happy with the hull. Very nice to drive, whether it's smooth of choppy.

I think there were 17 or 18 competitors, and heaps of boats.

Scott I am thinking of building a whiplash, are you running 2s 2p or 4s 1pack?

[Heath M]

Man i am knackered after all the racing.. Big thanks also to sponsors and to sterlo92's dad John and Trever for running such a smooth event...
I managed 3rd place in 4s Mono with my DF33 thanks to Andrew G for having a laptop on hand to change the motor timing on my B125.
I think i was to hung over to drive the whip today though as i only managed 2 finishes from 4 heats, 1st and 2nd..
I did make 2 other finals but had no luck in either..
