Here with uh race 3es winner Matt M off SW well done mate uh talk us through the tough day that it was yeah cheers yeah our first race um pretty tough race we went out left and um ended up very deep made up for it in the second race
Started out um off the boat and just worked the right hand side and top three round the top Mark and then um just kicked it from there your first win in 6 fo ski Nationals yeah um had a had a win the last Nationals but unfortunately
That one got cool off so making up for it so first official Win jary 2024 for the Australian 16t skiff and 13t skiff national titles hosted by this George saing club I’m Jimmy buy and joining me in commentary today is Andrew Dolly DEA and Clint Bowen at the boo welcome back brother thank you mate good afternoon Jimmy and viewers good to be here
It’s um got a bit of a different day to yesterday do where uh we had not much burries lots of rain flicking about and today what’s the weather got for us what’s it got install for us today do well yesterday uh obviously for those who watched
Yesterday we had a very difficult day of changing wind direction and rain and uh quite unpredictable wind and we did a lot of sitting around and we had to talk a lot of of do a lot of filling in but uh today’s another day we’ve had a suly
Come through this morning was a bit early came through a bit earlier than uh was expected in forecast which made me think that would uh start to get a little bit of East in it and start to uh dissipate a little but what we’re seeing out here at the
Moment the moment you’re seeing the fire stopping there on screen lit up and going down wind uh we’re still getting gusts up to around 20 knots out here at the moment um but I’m expecting it as the afternoon goes on to slowly uh maybe we’ll probably see some holes in the
Breeze and I’ll expect whoever can stay in the pressure um will make the gains we’ve did a did a bit of a Park walk uh just before we boarded the boat and uh there was lots of people asking what I thought and it was they had big
Decisions to make and from what I can see um most of the fleet that we’re looking at at the moment have gone for the little rig I did say to some of the bigger guys that uh you know you could put the big rig in and if you can lump
It up wind you’re going to be super quick downwind and by race too if that breeze dies they would have a distinct Advantage but at the moment I can’t see anyone that’s had the courage and conviction to uh to take that on so we will see what happens in the next
Uh we’ll probably be out here for 2 hours um and I don’t I can’t see it being 20 knots for the next 2 hours what do you think Clint M firstly I just want to say um I’m glad it’s blowing today because um I don’t have the brain cells
The great brain cells to actually commentate for two hours when the breeze is so light so well done well done you boys yesterday you can definitely talk though bz that’s why we got you out here today yeah but I don’t think anyone to listen to me so so if you were sailing
The fluid today mate what what rig do you think you would have put in oh jeez it’ll be a tossup I think if the rest of the fleet went second rig you’d have to go second rig especially you’re walking around the park and looking at the competition you’d sort of want to match
Them but it’s sort of shaping up to be one of those top fueler days where it’s just flat out you know and if you did have the big rig on and you had some horsepower you’d actually be backing yourself today I think yeah so if you’re swinging a couple of decent
Crows 180 200 kilos on The Wire yeah and that’s that’s sort of the message I was talking to the guys about but as you say a lot to play for today we’ve got two races um there’s a lot of people with some big scores that just need to bank
Some good numbers so you don’t want to take too many risks this early in the rata um so you go with what your opposition’s got and who knows we might see someone who’s down the leaderboard roll the dice and and come race two if they’ve got the big rig in they might uh
Might get a win up but from what I can see it’s looking like all little little rigs out here right and speaking of such we just had Sly on the on the TV and they’re two big boys and they’ve got the second rig in so uh obviously there’s
They’re banking against you know a major disaster yeah so Sarah Sarah in a very good position in the regata at the moment you’re not going to take any risks you’ll take no risks no risks at all but but for boats who are back in the fleet a bit they could uh could take
Their chances but it doesn’t look like anyone had the courage to do that I’m talking about Sarah and her good form we might as well take the opportunity to have a look at the results so far we’ll get them up on the screen for the 16t skips we’ll start
With first you have imagine signage Nathan Wilmont still hasn’t won a race but been very consistent second you got Sly third sa racing fourth suek building Consultants those boys be they’ll be over the moon I’ll be cheering fourth place with a 10 10 11 yep consistent uh then cjk design from Belmont skellon
Henry mon following in uh in six seven Moon and Yachts eighth Domino’s ninth fluid 10 swell racing and um then we’ll have a quick look at the 13s on scratch he you big Jimmer Hopkins quite uh quite a great lead on six points with three seconds uh second is s media third
Fluid fourth Bartley construction fifth cybertech group six harken which um you know considering I think they didn’t finish the first race still so correct you know they’re going quite well then you got plant Cafe uh eighth is Bigfoot bags and covers ninth is QED and 10th is botney
Scaffold and then also what we do have just for the viewers at home who’s leading what else you have in on the handicap for the uh 16t Skiffs you have fire stopping leading from little blue dinosaur one point difference there at the moment it’s uh still very early in
The the piece to sort of be watching though that the stopping absolutely good bait that one um not only that Jimmy but Alex heart work for fluid we’re joining together mate after all these years after all these years we finally come together B um in the uh what have we got the
First female you got Sly Sarah Lee she’s obviously leading that um then in the Masters there’s only three but Ross stoy on the Pepsi Max is leading that from the Belmont club and the uh youth you got swell racing Matt meany from the Belmont clubs leading that at the moment so there’s uh
Still a lot to play play for then in the 13t skips on handicap you got QED um is leading that one and the female obviously Gemma on the eix is leading that one so there’s all the other little subcategories that everyone’s out to play for um but still probably a little bit
Early after only three races to sort of uh be starting to count chickens in those departments yeah and the the big thing today uh Jimmy obviously is if we get two races away today which uh I’m pretty confident we’re going to I can’t see This breeze going anywhere uh the
Start Line’s just open if we get the two races in today then a discard will come into play and a lot of the boats who either broke gear didn’t finish in the first race yesterday um boats like uh noes who yesterday had a uh had an
OCS um they get to discard those worst scores so uh we’ll see some big movement in the leader boards once that discard comes into play just had a look there at no no they’re sporting no blue that is Ryan Ewings okay now Jimmy and I know who is
Ryan Ewing’s mentor and who Ryan Ewings works for and that is one David Whit and uh if Ryan’s been talking to Ryan if Ryan’s been talking to witty this morning he would have got one message and that would have been big rigs win big races mate so uh wiy would’ be a
Very proud man he would he would indeed and hopefully we can see Ryan push that thing around the track and have a great day today and if you’re not sure about that go and type into YouTube after this of course noia heavy wind sailing if you want to see
In the 18 Footers and David wht’s finest moment can someone explain to me with the Masters what makes a masters crew uh total of I think the three of us would qualify I think it’s a total all bastards I think it’s a total of
150 a total of 150 is that right Jimmy I think right your guess as good as mine we’ll make it up as we go so we’re somewhere around that 150 years total on the boat right well I think with Mal page on the Imagine they they qualify but
Obviously with um with Jack on there they drop out of that qualification right so I know so it’s got to be close to somewhere around that I remember when we were selling there was probably 10 of them here so because we’ve only got Pepsi Max Lee and man flu does that mean
That we’re losing our old guys and more young people are coming through I think they just know what’s what’s happening on Friday I think the older guys are just getting younger Cruise right okay got you yeah in their beds and and for those who’ve never seen the veterans trophy it’s a beautiful uh
Timber Clark with a walking stick mounted on it very nice trophy there’s cunninghams that had a reasonable day yesterday um considering um how light and Shifty it was they sort of snuck away with two half decent results yesterday so that’s Nick Connor on the helm with Paulie sausage McKenzie and Tom
Quigley Tom Quigley is stepped in for this regat and from what I’ve seen so far is doing a great job any sales on uh sh partners with them are Rankin and and um cam McDonald and the ad Footers so strategizing on this course here doll what are we
Thinking uh for me mate you wouldn’t want to go anywhere right of Center uh this if this bruise is going to shift anywhere it will go slightly left and if it’s going to go left you want to be on the left side of the course and for me
Most of the pressure will come through uh we’re not looking up we’re looking up at uh the docks there but if we if we look to the South there’s some low lower areas in the land form that usually get the the breeze coming through up towards
Tower um and yeah I’d be going middle to the left myself Clint what would you think I would agree with you I would agree with you I think it’s um it’s shaping up to be like I said a Top Fuel today as the Belmont boys would say and
Uh I I’d say there’s going to be a race out to the corner yeah um in in in saying that I think it’s the guys that can generate as much Pace as possible it’s it’s not so much a strategy J it’s a it’s a boat race day
Yeah yeah I said to both of my kids start down towards the pin if you can if it’s an even line and put your foot down and get to that hand side lay line as quick as you can don’t worry about heot just go like a rocket just send it just
Send there’s a 5 minute gun and I’ll guarantee they won’t execute that [Laughter] plan cuz what would dad know yeah for this first work we can rule the the tide out it’s probably slackest it’s going to be all day low is at 2:00 so yeah we’re in the uh five minute sequence has
Begun was the Hooter that you probably just heard over the audio so the first day you gave me a tip I only got one tip thanks very much guys you got three and I picked the fluid and uh poor all fluid had a little bit of a problem
Downwind um today who who are the top fuelers Yeah we actually didn’t do this yesterday so um we didn’t really put the mocker on anyone yesterday we we neglected to do that um yeah I’m thinking a couple of the boats that are in a little bit of that’s four
Minutes folks a couple of the boats that are in a little bit of strife on the point score at the moment um like moonen um noes who are they’re both carrying some bigger numbers iy unfortunately yesterday they banked a 37 they’ll be looking forward to getting rid of that
And uh and if if I was to back one um today I like and you’re just seeing them right now coincidentally there’s modern concept construction so uh they everyone out here except for noes youth are little rig and modern concept constructions have a slightly bigger second rig than than the rest of the
Fleet and that might come work to their advantage today I think um and let’s let’s throw no’s youth in because they’ve got the big rig in right totally I’m giving them giving them full kudos for courage absolutely and and looking at the breeze here it it looks like it’s
Just lightning off a little bit and I’ve I’ve just put the mocker on five boats there so well done well done and you didn’t you didn’t mention fluid and I won’t over too late you just did so who who are you picking Clint look I I I
Definitely think moin’s going to be fast today um and uh SK and I have been very impressed with is it the young guys with milco on board the s c cjk with Derby steering th those boys have just been the quite a chapers i they have they have been indeed and I
Noticed they’re out of the um they’re out of the the jerseys for the handicap but I think they’re going to be right in there they’ve been sailing exceptionally well for the first three days here and it’s um you know when I was speaking to gilo for get her he was saying you know
Sort of a new combination not really confident he um definitely pulled the wall over my eyes that’s for sure so and and and and credit to milco too cuz he’s been sailing with Piper for many years and he’s made the decision to help some young guys out and I think that’s what
It’s all about and he’s he’s obviously making a big influence and I do know that uh Darby’s dad Darren Jones is over in um ptor in South Africa at the moment he’s been watching watching the regat and keeping tabs on how Derby’s going so good day Daz um and yesterday jeez Jimmy
We neglected to wish Maddie Waters a happy birthday is he 70 don’t how are you m I know you’re watching I don’t think he’s even 50 is he no he’s still only a pup but yeah happy birthday for yesterday M there’s a couple of suspects back at the club too
That you got to avoid later on being Perry and Cub oh dear okay so I’ll show you the back way out one one minute here we go there we are um how you liking where fluid is there Clint stepped out midline I actually like him at the moment too bad
It’s a it’s a good mix actually there’s a there’s a bit at the boat end and there’s a whole lot of the good guys at the at the pin end so we got red pumps right down at the pin Advanced it’s red pumps red red pumps red yep uh um and a
Lot of these STS I mean right now on a on a day like this you got to get off the line and you’re looking around if you’re a boat the first thing I’d look around is finding a boat that I felt was sympathetic to the way I sailed so if I
Wanted to go I wanted a boat below me that could foot or I wanted say Matt trione Above Top End Of The Line we’ve got uh no youth with the big rig we’ve got SK we’ve got togara and cunninghams there’s some pretty good boats going to have to go around down the pin
There do there we’re going to get a recall here Jimmy signage what are we going are we going general or individual individual individual recall so definitely boats down at the pin end um definitely one of them was uh red pumps red who was the other one we just listen the radio
Just waiting for some confirmation on who that might have been um excellent start uh SK electrical up towards the boat end they’re stepping out nicely with good Hut height good speed and that’s one boat we we probably neglected there that first race they showed excellent Pace in the first two
Laps oh most definitely well you you mentioned you gave him a mention didn’t you I did but I wasn’t as uh you wer that I wasn’t had that confident on them I thought maybe it’s lightning a little bit for them well this race is a long way from over yet
But uh yeah young banjo Nicholson in the SK away to a great start boat end and he’s in a clear Lane now he can actually put his bow down a little bit and go fast so uh the three boats that were over were imagine signage which went
Back red pump red went back Sunshine noes was the other boat that they identified as over still hasn’t returned so there’s the uh that’s the latest from the uh from the start boat for you copy Jimmy not good news for the uh The Travelers the fans the Queensland fans I’m afraid but
Uh and it’s good to see the queenslanders here big shout out to the queenslanders my good mate and our good mate Rob wson done a lot for the Queensland class the store water of the CLE Queens Land class indeed he was so you can see imagine there they’re
Actually in not too bad of shape considering they had to uh go back and restart that both them and red pumps got it over and done with very quickly they knew they were over um sometimes boats will step out a bit far and and it’s a
Long way to get back and very expensive but uh yeah imagine straight back into the into the throng and they’re in pretty good company with Eric storage and Lee napton noes in close quarters bit behind them is cjk and that’s the good thing about these the good Vats will just get
Straight into there they have a problem they get straight into it and before you know at the top Mark they’re in the top five 10 they they’re back in the game calm and you got three laps to to to make it ground yeah to get it back so
You know you don’t have to get it all back before the first top Mark yeah and this is this race is decent length beat too that top Mark’s quite a long way up it’s looking about 1 1.4 I’d be guessing 1.25 1.25 well you know my eyesight’s
Not perfect but 0 2 within 2 is not a bad estimate is it not bad not bad for your old eyes do not bad so uh so yeah three laps of that it’s going to be a decent race and looking at the course at the moment you’re probably seeing on
Your screens there there’s there’s now we’re not seeing the White Caps we were before and I’m looking at this I’m thinking it’s a about 15 16 knots out here so here here’s an interesting cross with Cunningham’s just crossing the SKU here they CS up motoring there motoring can see shch and uh Contender
Sailcloth there along with togara um they’re just ducking back they needed to clear their air a little so they’re just ducking back surprisingly a lot of these boats are are going up the middle um can’t see on screen at the moment but we’ve got a large group of
Boats that heed Clinton my advice and they’ve moted out to that uh left hand side and they’ll be looking for that Port lay back towards the top Mark so when these two fleets converge um it’s going to be interesting to see how it Stacks up um at the moment in the right
Um uh we’re looking at looking left side at the moment so that’s where we wanted to see can see pretty large number of boats are going to that extreme left we’ve got a lot of top boats like s racing Sly um MC concept and the no the no Blu is out
That way too I believe yeah and I was bit surprised where noes blue started actually they started right up at the boat end and with that big rig would have been looking for the pin and so you could put the bow down and just go yeah
Yeah um get out of Dodge as quick as you can we’re looking at notes there now so there’s a few George boats up to the left there doly there is yeah and bit of local knowledge knowledge but at the same time in the in the hard right we’ve
Got uh guns like uh imagine signage and then coming back to the right again we’ve got cunninghams and fluid um also in the har right with togara so uh Bella group yesterday’s winners and cjk all in this right hand group so uh it’s going to be whether
They can find a line of pressure that’s lifting to get back on to Star it and start coming back imagine and signage have have decided to tack and they’re on their way back on Star tack here comes on me coming back across from the right they look like they’re they’re
Just behind fluid here in this cross you’ll see how this line up goes and and it’s starting to get a bit patchy so you know there’s obviously some good guts here but they just got to try and staying that pressure it’s so they’re going to be balancing now
Between pressure and angle yeah another boat that’s looking looking good here at the moment is Ace who uh they’ve been they’ve been one of the boats that uh I won’t say they’re a surprise packet but we didn’t know a whole lot about Ace I’ve heard about they’ve been doing very
Well in the club racing and they’re showing really good pace so far this riet and sailing the boat extremely well and so far as as in regard to the rightand group um for my money they’re leading the right hand true they are L wrong for the minute just for
Now I’d say AC leading this a ace on pitcher now definitely leading the right hand group and in good pressure heading over for these these shallows yeah just coming into a really good line that’s that’s Ace you’ve got on screen there at the moment they just got into some
Pressure you see they’ put the bow down a little they’re swinging hard and they’ve accelerated out going like a rocket at the moment they are down on on height so that pressure is headed interestingly on this side of the course good sign for the
Next tack it is yeah I don’t want to go too far cuz that back can dissipate and next thing you’re lifting and you’ll go wow that bit late but we’re looking at a big height differential but at the moment between Ace and SK that’s for sure the fluid boys looking good over
There Clint yeah they’re not going too bad looks like it’s all holding together and the boys are all still on the boat that’s a good sign you can see them there in the top of your picture with the dark black colored sails they’re about to run into
A nice one here hopefully they uh they they’ve just put the bow down as well they’re following Ace in yeah so once again that pressure’s coming through and the pressure is right hand pressure so it’s pretty much true South when these Puffs are coming through and you can see
The landform there that’s what I was talking about before you can see the low points in the in the in the sand Junes and the scrub there so Breeze finds it a lot easier when you get up to this top end of the course so a ace tag there
We’re got a cross uh yeah it’s a real close cross there between fluid and Ace yeah so as we said Ace Ace leading this right hand group um the leftand groups have a very long fetch on Port to get back um and it’s going to be interesting to
See how the pans out when we get when we get back and yeah Ace still once again they’re going to take another tack back a are going back more they quite a big header there and there’s some pressure coming so they they’ve tacked over because they started to knock so’ve
Tacked onto a lift and it’s lifting pressure at the moment but at some point they’ve got to find the lane to get back don’t they they do they do and now looking at the two you know they they’re down a bit of pressure on the right the
Guys in the left are actually lifting and are in good pressure they’re big big time high under there yeah um not far off this top Mark for the first time so there’s a run up there in your vot MCM leing the judge there yeah modern concept construction that we thought
Would be doing well in This breeze and Jared Smith uh he loves a bit of uh tactical sailing uh is in a very good position along with skellon um and the L of them Zoe dfield in the botney access so just get we just get the camera to
Come around that way do so yeah right R Ewings is over in that group as well so um I’m thinking they’re going to get there first are they Clint you left left hand’s going to pay I’m hoping they are because we both picked that side didn’t we and I hate
Being made a fool off lucky I didn’t get asked to pick a side what do you actually look uh we scan a little bit further right off skillon there their red pumps there they’re they’re on a massive lift out there they’re the furest step to the
Left and they they need a good result Clint they um they need a good result yeah they had a a 30 something in the um Heat 2 yesterday or the first Heat yesterday so yeah you can see them there now so red red pumps on the right of
Your screen but I’m thinking they get if they’re not on a lay line they might be overstood a bit we’re not quite in line yet but I don’t know they’re looking okay I think they’ve picked that lay line quite nicely Tyler um but I still think these other
Boats are Advanced on them which is always the risk of going to the corners you want to go to the corner you don’t want to go too far too far you get a shift you get a shift and overand and you’ve thrown away the advantage that you just got because you’ve sailed more
Distance and uh personally I’d like to be where uh modern concept and uh and skellon are but they’ve just started to head a little bit and if I were them I’d be just taking a little dig back over to this uh Eastern lay line while they’ve got a header because otherwise they’re
Just sailing over towards that right hand the right hand pack that’s coming in and they will lose a little bit of that advant AG but yeah they’ve kind of converged and uh the boats that are coming in from the right leading that group SK electrical you’ll see them coming to
Shot now and they’re going to cross there they are now they’ve crossed those mid boats from the left so as it’s turned out we’ve had boats sailed at opposite sides of the course and they’ve come out nearly even so but a few more a a few few more of
The boats that are uh that’ come out of the left side um they they’ve done a little bit better I think as we were talking about before we’ve got red pumps red or no red pumps uh Tyler dfield he is on he’s a little bit overstood but he’s picked that way line beautifully
And they’re coming in like a freight train look at that Greg windust swinging it down they’ve got really good trim that setup’s looking beautiful and they are motoring I think we can give ourselves a high five here do left side left side left side yeah
Yeah not by much there only a couple of meters but a couple of meters know they’re going to have about a five boat length advantage over SK here and and they’re the two boats that went to the extremes of both sides so really interesting how that worked out so we
Got Tyler dfield round first in red R pumps then we’ve got banjo Nicholson in ska electrical followed by toara Tommy clout great first work from Tom and what do we say here about imagine they were over at the start they went back and they are going around this top Mark in
Fif amazing effort guys yeah skellon imagine minin Daniel Turner there’s your pick yeah Jared Smith in modern CET constructions and the fluid Clint Happy Days Happy Days boys let’s go swell coming in they’ll be next around they had a great race win yesterday really happy for those guys and I’m sure the
Belmont crowd were cheering Ace that we were talking about and Jimmy’s smiling too cuz there’s the fire stopping great beat from Alex heart and the boys Domino’s iy having a better day they they they’ll be next around with Sarah Lee and souly hot on their
Heels so suddenly got a bit of work to do but uh oh and they’ve just done a little body wait for the up and the before you say anything more baser iy with an early J out from the top Mark so H start up might think there’s a bit more pressure
In the left hand side looking downwind interestingly Moon sort of jobed about the same time as him just down down wind downwind yeah fluid and followed them out suek and S racing Eric storage a little bit deeper today they’ll be looking for a bit more than that suek
Has a very small small rig from by the looks of it so and here’s that here’s no going around with a big rig you’d hope you’d think that the big rig on downhill would will be um a great Advantage yeah the supercharger that truck through them Hoist the
Wer Nick Conor and the cunninghams boys and npg a little deeper than they’d probably like to be but there’s plenty plenty of race course left here yet there’s a this is going to be a long race there’s plenty of room to be to make Gaines Bruce Savage chasing
Um Outback Marine followed by Joel bishel in the nhess they also have a very small little rig by the not a great set on the NF PG cjk a little deep for where they would like to be I’d imagine we’re just going to head down course a
Little and see if we can catch up with a few of the leaders Eric storage on screen there with knes Lee napton just looking to try and squeeze over the top of them and so he’s got a bit of a clearer Runway to make some gain so
Racing to L of them and Contender sailcloth giving Chase from Behind and I think that’s mooned out in front of that little pack followed by fluid so uh Dan Daniel Turner on the moon and he’ll be uh really trying to make some big gains today and one of uh one of the ones to watch for sure so we’re following the left
Hand boats down Hill I mean you know in normal racing I’d be going the same way downhill as I came up here fo pave yeah so these guys have taken it down to the left rather than go to the to the right as we’re facing downhill um to for my
Money at the moment the right boats look like they’re going great down there pressure so left left up wind was good and right down wind at the moment looks like it’s it’s paining so uh like we said said that looked like the better side of the course I think
There’s a bit more pressure over on that side but we’ll see what the wash out is when we get down to the bottom and it’s not that fresh I mean these guys will be working the boat a lot you know trying to chase every Runner here they’ll be trying to keep it
Flat I like the first day when they’re standing in the back of the bus they’ll be working hard here yeah this is going to be a the the next race is going to be particularly tough I think and uh we’ll see if that big rig selection for Ryan
Ewings can pay off down the track he’s a little little sort of not mid Fleep so far but yeah there’s a three laap race and we’ve still got another race to go so you can see Moon and and fluid have stepped back now they’re going to the right they’ve seen that the
Advantage is in the right and they’re going back there now trying to find that pressure to take them back there yeah the boats boats have went over further they actually picked up some ground but these boats that were looking at they have Jed under a bit of pressure
So so uh they they’re trying to take that bit of pressure back to their Opposition kind of be looking at the leaders here on SK here just taking very good run from Tom CL the boys on toar local St George crew the key for them is going to be staying in this pressure be interesting to see if they put a job on top of uh SK
Here or continue um looks like SK with starid Advantage actually had to just head up a little bit there they might have been doing doing a Jimmy spit Hill trying to make it look a bit worse than it was and now Tom’s going to job go back with them on that
Gust in good in good company with fluid and moon but uh SK banjo Nicholson uh took the sort of won that little B minor battle and now looks like SK are coming across to converge with I think it’s Ace and cross easily in front of Imagine but imagine starting to make some
Inroads into these guys well after being over at the start it’s like even where imagine’s got back to you still going right that’s a keep up just play setable from here yeah very good come back Jimmy and and look front of the fleet you’ve got some options you can you can now you
Know work on the gas you you know back of the fleet you tend to get pushed around a bit yeah you can’t you can’t go to the places that you want to go you you you you’re tax tactics are being determined by the boats that are around you correct
So here comes Tom and the boys they’re going to uh get into this gate first they got looks like they’re going to take the they going to job drop are they going to drop they’re going to drop I think and take the left hand turn while
SK and skellon take the right hand turn and Moon’s fighting hard there to get up to the right hand turn Mark yeah and MCC with the Spiner Sho they’re going to slap a jve in here I reckon and do the quick D and get inside him here we
Go MCC with the white shoot you’ll just see it disappear down the Bell just like that fluid’s Gone Too Deep there not giving him any tactical Maneuvers at this Mar could be in a lot of trouble here and let’s hope they don’t flip over into MCC they’re all good now they’ve
Got to avoid M cuz m’s on Star red pumps lost their way down that run they did a bit didn’t they yeah and in fact red pumps red getting through the gate before them Bruce Savage and no that’s Eric’s sorry man I’m looking at the red
Strip so swell ace fluid few boats C below the uh the gate whether or not it was a late shift but it it’s probably a little unacceptable to sort of get yourself that low it’s a bit messy it’s very messy do look at the gains on the uh the
Big blue shoot there on the left of screen blue they better get it down there they’re about to go around the Mark here we go so we’re probably what 12 knots now yeah it’s pretty really dying you can see a lot of the crews are actually struggling now to hold two out they
Crouched Sarah Le just had to put a little little dig in there she was in a bit of a bit of a Bingle bit of a mess and now she’s going to tack out of there again stuck behind Ryan yings coming in we’re looking at the left hand turn Mark there you’re looking
At nazomi and Suk dropping their spiners there to take the left hand turn and it’s going to be a double wmy for them to uphill now because they little rigs on Breeze is dying had little boards in too yeah not much to leverage off is there not much to
Leverage off so guys at Ry on no blue should really get some Advantage here yeah he’s still got two laps right and the lead isn’t that far away for him it’s definitely so what what I would suggest what Ryan needs to do is find a clear
Lane put his bow down and go like just go like a freight train because while you’re bound up in a lineup you can’t can’t s utilize that rig to its full advantage so big group going out to the left not so big group going to the right yeah it’s kind of been determined
By which uh which side of the gate they’ve taken and yeah if you I think more of taken the right hand turn starboard turn although the boat that has gone hard out to the right is Imagine signage well what would a gold medal would you bet against
Him yeah he he he knows what he’s doing that’s for sure yeah and and he did okay out there on the last bat too so interesting there 11 just did two jobs now like trying to get down to this leftand bottom Mark and now going to the
Right hand Mark so yeah they they’re easily confused Jimmy mid they need a bit of sleep forward hand just getting that last bit tucked away C cjk after you uh gave Gil the credit yeah see what happens say nothing I know yeah they’ve got a bit going on there haven’t they
Trying to go uphill with the Spiner at one point there I think that just avoiding an up wind boat and then a downwind boat so all at once here we’ve got Tri Becka fur Fisher um who was to weather there I think it Bella group kamakazi P Pepsi
Max little blue dinosaur like it is just stacks on the mill in here the camera doesn’t do it justice as to what’s going on and now my young bloke will Deval is trying to impersonate what uh the cjk was doing flapping a yellow Spiner madly there they are yeah I was just
Going to call he’s going to he’s going to ride the sple all the way in and do a late drop there he let me down will come on look like they were drawing the spin of your mouth they were letting that flap but uh round they go still upright Let’s uh get
Back up amongst the action that’s just about everyone around except for shars and there’s there still a still a few back Enders to come but we’ll head back up course and let you know what’s happening up towards the front of the fleet employment hero going out of
Screen there and now we’re looking at CMG Dyan getting us some lovely Throne shots while we can apologies we can’t always have the drain up because we’re so close to the airport but we’ll bring you those pictures when we Can that’s a nice shot uh we’re heading up the the 13s are around the top um when we can tell you some uh tell you who’s who at the zoo will let you know but at the moment I can see plon in second cybertech harken uh one of the Hornsby Vates but
There is a boat with a red Spiner out in front can we make out who that is Jimmy with the red kite is that media I can’t make it we will we’ll let you know as soon as we can so with the thir foot SKS is this dropping pressure really going to bother
Them too much to no not at all I mean there’s different size Crews there’s some lighter Crews and some heavier Crews which will handle things uh to their advantage differently but uh but yeah overall uh for the viewers that the 13t Skiffs only have one rig and one set
Of sails compared to the 16s which have two my sort of boat don’t have to pick a rig yeah they don’t have to don’t have Cho yeah so uh yeah one size fits all in the 13t ski we’re just uh we’ll let you know how
We’re going I think the uh the first 13 is Cy out in front then MCC plonk harken and I think it’s QED with that uh funky colored spica just to the right of screen there there’s the little fluid so the cytech guys they’re a bit heavier they they they’re good on the
First day in the blow they’re good right they’re good good in the pressure yeah yeah they they’re big they’re tall and they can sail great little sailers they came through the flying 11 Manley junor flying 11 program at Manley Theo and Kobe and uh in their first season in the
The 13t skiff they’re doing exceptionally well and they are both extremely tall both extremely tall yeah just look look at Kobe coming down here if you’re on a 16 you need a crew go and see Kobe Nappa and look at him working that spica who do you think he learned
That off Clint whoa being a napper who did he learn that part off I think he learned that off me he’s got he’s got the family Trap red gloves on that’s for sure and giving giving Chase in the uh the MCC at the moment is uh Tommy Millum and Tommy
Cameron they’re having a great race I’m sure their their fans back at the club will be cheering that other red Spiner that we thought was leading the 13s was back a 16 late starter there they are it was a 16 leading the 13s yeah how you like it
Yeah that’s how you like it they’ve got a little way to go so we’ll have have a look at the 16s and just let you know what’s going on it looks to me Clint like the uh looking to me like the left hand group has paid big dividends this time
Would you think it would actually yeah it looks like they been a long time out there in the RO looking for something that’s always a dangerous scenario to be and when you’re looking looking looking and you’re not advancing yeah and for my money Daniel Turner and skel con So Daniel Turner and Moon
Uh skillon uh they’ve LED in from the left hand side and found the best of the pressure uh banjo and Jared in SK and uh modern concept constructions gone a bit further and they’re looking a little bit softer but they are high so uh but yeah
At the moment I think Moon Moon are looking pretty good although I don’t know that they’ll cross skillcon at the moment skillcon just hooked onto a lovely lift absolutely but it it’s it’s one of those things when we diverge into this top Mark they look good they look
Good and then they don’t yeah cuz they need to find a lane back is a tricky thing and in in saying that looking at the right hand group they’re coming back with a lot of height but that bodess well for ruffy as well he’ll tack onto some high
Pressure so uh good to see Ace Ace look like they they got in a bit of a big bit of mess down at the bottom Mark they’ve come out of really well obviously that thing’s got some Wheels uphill even yesterday they’ll they’ll quit yeah they have some serious Pace up
Win those boys definitely want to I think Circle for a a race win that’s for sure I think so Jimmy yeah so that’s uh constructions we’re looking at there so that’s Jared Smith Chris Williams and Jackson Cranfield and they were one of M with that bigger
Little rig um for my money this today is playing right into their hands if they can sail a good tactical uh tactical race they’re certainly going to be in the top group and when you say they’re slightly bigger what are we talking so their masked height I believe is a bit a
Bit higher and they’ve got more sail area so they’ve taken the gamble that uh uh that when that transition zone time comes in which is exactly what we’re looking at today just having that little bit of extra sale area the little bit of extra mass height as well means that
Their spiners are quite a bit bigger and uh it’s a bit of a it’s a bit of a gamble because when it’s blowing 25 plus you’ve really got a lot on you know speaking to Jared about it though like he’s HED like they literally did go and
Hedge their bets on that because of what’s previously happened in the class where they’ve gone stay ashore in 25 over and they feel like with Chris and Jackson they got the the weight to lump it a little bit further and Jared is one of those Skippers that does hike um yeah
And CH Chris is a real boat tinkerer and a very good sailor too and like you say Jimmy they made that decision that well if we’re not going to sail in over 25 why do we need a little a little little yeah and looking what they’ve done here
To the rest of the fleet up this beat I think they’ve made some good decisions they have a good tactical beat um they’ll be in the top four coming around this top Mark is my prediction still got a little way to go to the Top Mark viewers but um but no they’re they’re
Looking in good shape and as I say with that extra sale area they sale a good downwind here they could uh really move up and make maybe getting get themselves into the lead but with the uh with the like the company they’re keeping at the moment scalon SK and
Moonin there’s definitely not going to have it their own way that is one thing for sure miss that last shot of skilom was lovely GL that one there that’s a great shot yeah it’s it’s getting patchy up this top end though still managing to hold two which
Is which is good they would have those little rigs grunted right up though wouldn’t they so we’re just looking here Jimmy’s just showing me the results the overall at the moment with modern Concepts on 28 so good result good result will actually put in the money big drop there big drop and
When do the drops come into play after the second race today today right if we get two in today they’ll get their first drop this is like Moving Day Moving Day at the golf it is indeed yeah yeah you still playing golf boo yeah not very well although Jay Atkins he organized me
A game at pimble the other day very very nice of him thank you Mr Atkins yeah here’s a big jbird going there’s Henry Mak First Round Top Mark full making compliment on board there do it is indeed yeah I’d say I’d say uh Jay would be firmly nestled into the couch right
Watching watching every minute of this coverage yeah M and opting for for an early job here so he thinks there’s a bit more pressure over on the western side of the track but uh looking down the track at skillcon right now they are motoring I think at
The moment they’re on it bit of an unti job set from Moon there but away they go so you’re looking at skel con just putting in a jve now so big mover up this one has been inside building they’ve come out they’ve come out of that right hand side Rod Carter nice job
Big big flano speaking of tall units big flano on the sheet yeah they big moves from them on that beat um and we’re just seeing Domino’s imag and fluid coming into play here closely followed by access and Sly gee zo not much between Zoe and uh and Sarah today
They’ve been neck and neck all day so far that’s that’s Bartley there do behind oh is it Bartley yeah Jeepers so you can see the difference there imagine went around that that bottom Mark I I think they would have had at least a minute on the fluid and fluid and Clos
That Gap up that be yeah well Sarah and Sarah and Zoe were right together last beat and I saw that gray Hull and thought it was them again but no it’s uh it’s Dan bromo and his team on on Bartley having a a this is we lost a man on the eight
Yeah but he was avoiding a boat that drived on the port so just throw the human handbrake out the side yeah he was going to go straight through the side of botney then I don’t think they were intending on doing a job set the ace but they were forced to jve they’re doing
One now do they certainly yeah once they get a bloke on board they can actually put the Spiner up we might hear more of that later I think we might red pumps they had a bit of a loss on that uh last beat but they they’re around and they’re
Coming and now we’ve got Sarah Lee there she is that’s the gray boat I was looking for closely followed by iy Erics and the ever charging noes youth with the big Rick come on Ryan watch this down they’re going around the they’re going around the corner here with Amy
Let’s see how they go least Ry sort of done the right thing there having the big rig get below the boats around you can try and get that separation and get out of there yeah a lot of people really pushing the limits there and then we’ve got s racing npg uh
Noes three of our big Heavy Hitters um and they’re in the teens at the moment that isn’t what they’re looking for today Joel bishel in the npg and Contender Wishard so good and Su I’d expect Su to have just running a little bit further up the field yeah
That it’s a it’s a very little little rig on the Su though that maina looks it looks very small so uh steo if you’re watching you might need a bigger secondary yeah um cunning them a bit deep as well and I’m pleased to say employment hero have made a big
Gain on that deep they were very deep at the gate and they’ve moved up nicely so hopefully they continue to do that and we’re just passing cjk there they’ve got a lot of ground to make up God you s them good boo yeah nice pit boo I’ll be
Seeing you back at the club to CJ I’m running as soon as I’m off the boat yeah you really put the commentator’s purse on those bullets sorry B so we’re just making our way down course now you’re looking at ble and uh and swell uh they’d be looking I’m guessing
Around the 15 16 1 Far um just outside somewhere just outside the top 10 anyway um Jimmy’s Jimmy’s not writing the numbers down for me yet so uh wait wait does that nicely does that for me at the finish so I know what I’m talking about I need someone to look after
Me imagine side Ed there on a nice little vein of pressure by the looks of it their boys are stretched out trying to wind up the boat speed big brto swinging it out trying to they’ve made up a bit of ground there I think and uh giving Chase to the Domino’s
Fluid that bunch of boats are currently in uh about 6 78 yeah they are probably probably imagine in six very tight with fluid fluid’s just going to drive come back across to imagine good tactic stay close to your opposition just having a look at the 13 sty it I mean it looks like it fairly steady in terms of the positions it was
Before I noticed that eix are sort of back in 10th or so yeah yeah thought we looking to make some gain and also uh so all the my girls in the bney they’re a bit deep on that first run but looks like they’re making a bit of a comeback on this P scale
First round the bottom Mark with about a lead 75 M lead over Daniel Turner Moon and yachs and uh banjo Nicholson in SK electrical coming in the hot just see Matt stenly his trade in the bow of the Moon as always that spin is tucked away nicely and way we go oh he’s
Not out yet though have a small issue there he’s out he’s out he’s out now what they what they do we were talking about it yesterday what they do is at the moment the sheet hands having a steer and and Daniel Turner ruffy has gone forward and he’s just tidying up
The uh tidying up the Spiner so that’s we’re talking about why they have the double tiller that’s exactly when it comes in handy that’s the quickest the bait ever goes mate when they skip her hands to tell her over to the sheet in they always say that
Yeah you know we used to have uh three trapezes on and and and I’d actually go out in the drop in the drop I used to do the same two Clint yeah but no one seems to do that anymore I think it’s it’s more so revolves around the jobs
Yeah and I I once we stopped doing that I found it much more comfortable to steer and Hike not wearing a trape belt I agree the few times I started with Clint at least he was nice enough he’d pull the Skipper’s trap wire back for the Jo everyone else would leave it in
Your way and be like they’ll be yelling at you while you’re Tangled Up in the bottom of the boat yeah yeah there’s nothing worse than a trap hook in the eye is there or a trap a trap ring in the ey as you fly across so we’re going
To have Domino’s taking the left hand gate in fifth place we’re going to have a very tight rounding here I know fluid decided to do the right thing in Buffalo girls around the outside so imagine in six fluid in seven and that’s Phil hmer there in the B he’s normally on the
Sheet for us but he’s uh he’s gone to the B yeah but if Fang said I want to do the sheet you’d put Fang on the sheet yeah you would if Fang said I want to steer you put him in put him steering you did Fang I’m not arguing with Fang
Either yeah one of the one of the nicest guys in sailing Fang Warren Zoe R Field next around in botney and Tom clout still having a great race they’re uh they’re showing some Pace today the toara um St George crowd will be happy to see that next up we’ll have swell
Continuing their run of good Races they bit of a pressure J drop here though here we go and with the Spiner Sho they did that quite easily with a normal drop that would have been a difficult maneuver and that’s when the Spiner shoot just comes
Into its own it is yeah yeah next round we’ve got the sly very closely followed by Ace and Bartley Bartley having a glamour they’re having an absolute glamour here comes a little general bit of a game to him on that run and also the red pumps have come back
Into it here I’ll tell you what he’s um Le’s beaten R down with the uh the big rig yes but they sailed opposite sides of the course so and not too much difference here remember we said it at top M oami so looks like the little rigs are still holding their own downhill
Yeah that was a bit bit of a wild wild drop from the uh the noes there no blue they might get a few tips from uh Ryan’s father Dave who is probably one of the greatest forward hands of all time they might want to get that sheet
Under control before they fire the tack line next time so imagine went hard out to the right on the last beat now they’re looking like they going hard out to the left so go figure yeah yeah NHS taking the left gate TTR on the other and then first state Landing first
State Landing next around that’s Jack Jack’s big uh Sonage budget oh yeah throw it all at it so so good next so far so good in the Sue te so far so good left that drop so good that that drop wasn’t so good not so good yeah and don’t forward hands love
It when their Skipper does that to but she’s a nice young lady you’d be watching your p and qes absolutely yeah oh I watched my P anyway so excuse me maybe next time we can just uh give me some a little bit more space just put it in
Triplet over on that other gate we’ve just had try Becka and red pumps red and following up from them in a little bit of strife no they’re okay is cunninghams and behind them we’re going to have employment hero and Outback get back up and uh get back onto
The lead of this one and we’ll probably pick up the 13s almost at the same time coming in on that tail end of that little group we’ve got uh Fireball and cjk cjk really appreciating Clint’s some predictions today I’ll give you the big anchor off
The front if you want Bo you can go drop that off to G just say Merry Christmas I don’t dare stop mentioning my name that’s another Clint that I’m talking about for our 13 fans uh at home and back at the clubs we’ve had uh cyber Tech have extended their lead even further they they’re really rocketing along today um and they’re followed by
Harken in second so Harkin’s taking some bases I think they were fourth or fifth out that last week yeah they picked up a few they had a good lead obviously but cybertech Theo Franklin and Kobe Nappa they are having a Blinder out here today absolutely motoring down when they
Are at the moment that’s then when you can see Haren have just J behind them um as always the camera lies there is probably M between those two boats at the moment yeah at least at least and I think evix have just said probably down
2 or 300 M around the top Mark so I think they’re back in 10 yeah they’re pretty deep so at the moment we’ve got cyber Tech um Heidi baits and Orlando sad in harken and then AAL in the plot Cafe and behind them will be modern concept Constructions there the guys and hark is selling that beautifully you know little bit into Windward just uh very comfortable ripping ripping it downhill nice and flat getting de yeah yeah so on the screen there now you’re seeing modern concept uh Tommy Cameron on the hill the orange orange shoots cheeky oh that’s
Cheeky is it they’re having a good one having a Blinder thank you Jimmy my eyes aren’t good enough to see that far then next that’ll come in shot will be the the little fluid so Zack Wyatt steering the the cheeky and then we’ve got Donny rollinson Liam and Liam karuna rat on the
Fluid they’ll be loving it out here the boys they like a good time those two Lads they do they Here for a Good Time and uh if any ladies out are out there they might want to follow their social media oh they’re running H are they yeah yeah yeah they’re going viral I
Always I always laugh at the um at the the little fluid guys they um they always wave to me and say hey hey how good to we going and they’re normally capsized at the time for the sponsors l i put the name on the bottom of the boat next
Time so back to the 16s we’re just going to take you into the think of the action now as we move up course again uh we’ve got modern concept just a leid of moon in a controlling position at the moment but they’re both trailing uh behind skel skellon still with a nice
Lead Jared there working pretty hard he’s really hiking into that on your Jared so there’s obviously still plenty of pressure for the little Ricks which is great to see we haven’t run out yet yeah just where we are now Clint looking out the window look that’s an increase in pressure I think isn’t
It yeah got sort of 15 1 there which is lovely so quite nice up the the top end of the course here at the moment and uh hopefully this pressure hangs around until they get around this top Mark and get kites up they can use that pressure to get back down
Course now the the the the uh there’s a bit of a roll of the dies the fluid’s gone out hard right and imagine going out to the left and uh looking at it right now I’d say imagine have got them yeah I think you’re right
Mate yeah flew it a long way in the in the west side of the course aren’t they yeah they’re uh looks like they’re ducking into the Sailing Club for a going back for an early one it’s a long way back from there yeah they they’re not chip chip chipping
They’re not chipping they’re not chip chip chipping all right all right scalon leading in they’re about to go past the botney 13 I think I saw them in the having a little dip before so the big gains that they made on the last beat was soon lost with a mistake I
Think so three Min on the skillon Y they obviously all get on quite well well you’d hope so you’d hope so steo and I used to always like to have anding between the two of us well you know as a as a coach I I could never I I the only
Siblings that I coached that got along with the Dr Fields right so all the Transfield kids over the years that sailed together at one point or another and uh they were fantastic most of the other siblings that sailed together including my own at one point um yeah didn’t end
Well yeah there’s all a bit of a buffer when you don’t know the when they’re not family like you said mate if if you’re in a three-handed b put a big bloke in between sit on there you so still still pretty tight here as we get up towards the top end of the
Course for the final time going to run to the finish and then we do it all again it is indeed oh the excitement Galore here I’m on I’m on the edge of my seat clip I can barely contain myself Moon and MCC have actually overstood this top mark
Uh skillcon picked a slightly better line they’re they’re on an easy lay um great shot there looking at skellon and we’ll see them come in ease a bit of gear you’ll see the skipper just easing some Vang and cunning them as we’re approaching looks like he’s doing that
Now and you’ll see them getting the boat down nice and flat and he’ll rip it away here we go in they go kite going up and that’s pretty well text booked what very good wind Windwood set and that for windw set that was an absolute gem didn’t flap at
All it’s let’s see how good uh the moon and crew can do here here we go yeah once that was excellent too I say got in by about 5 me there y with the Spiner shoot the kite flaps but it comes out quick and away they go so you
Want to wonder why those three guys are at the front of the fleet yeah there’s no there’s there is a good reason yeah for the youngsters out there watching that’s how you do it so there’s moona now he’s chasing hard and he’s you know he’s basically going to try and match it
With skillon yeah and just try and do him for Pace dra out do him and just put a bit of pressure on him I’m not sure it’ll work the M are pretty cool Under Pressure next around banjo Nicholson in SK Nathan Wilmont in Imagine and then
Rod Carter in on inside got about three four boat lengths separating each of those boats they’re they’re they’re a bit separated from the top three so we’re going to have two battles the battle for first second and third and the battle for fourth fifth and sixth next in we’ll have Domino’s and
Fluid followed by B the access followed by now right this time aren’t I Jimmy we’ve got Sarah Lee giving Chase to Zoe this time I’ve got the right the big for Sarah I’ve got the right gray boat this time surprisingly Clint looking at those those four boats some we down pressure
They’re all very easy on the van very yeah surprisingly a lot of twist and there’s not a lot of bump either to sort of require that obviously they’re finding that works for them out here it’s a constant process of adjustment following that group folks uh just so you know where everyone is we’ve
Got toara Ace swell followed by Eric’s s racing npg and notes youth Bartley still hanging in there and iy and red pumps giving Chase to that aforementioned pack we just RI it down here to these leaders and I don’t think we putting anything in the skillcon at the moment we got to do
Exactly what they’re about to do now just start throwing some J Out so it gets a bit noisy for you at home while we’re full noise going down the course here but uh we’ll do our best to keep talking to you and letting you know what’s going on skellon have now drived back to match buron and they’re not panicking they’re
Just going when they think the best pressure is they they would even matching guys with them then they’re just going to find their spot to go keep yourself between your opposition in the next spk that’s uh yes is the key that way the other boat won’t get
Any pressure or shift that you don’t get and uh yeah the Mak boys are doing a superb job at the moment and uh you the last few races they’ll be cheering up at the Belmont 16 Ski Club won’t they sure will big shout out to the Belmont Lads Belmont
Mafia am I allowed to say that only because they called you the manly Mar they do that money money doing your money laundering buying hamburgers and chimps we’ve had a we’ve had a lot of great battles with the Belmont guys but we’re all good mates and that’s um at
The end of the day that’s what it what it comes down to that’s a great thing about SK sing yeah indeed it is now now I’m just used to getting a a ribbing over how good Newcastle are going and how bad man you’re [Laughter] going so you can see there the uh the
Difference between the two boats at the moment and uh skels just picked up a little bit of pressure which is going to help them consolidate their position at the moment um little bit deeper same pace so at the moment they’re making a bit of a gain on moon
Um Moon Moon want to be a I think they’re fine at the moment but they don’t want to forget about uh mod concept constructions um but at the moment I think they’re pretty safely safely in second at the moment but uh MCC will certainly be happy to pick up a third
Place today and uh with a race to go um I’ll be looking to consolidate on that in the next race as well so at the end of this race here obviously there’s a lot of mixed results um we we we get an update on the series
Point score at the end of this race St H they might take a little while to uh to get those points calculated they’re pretty quick we might we’ll get them during the race that’s for sure yeah we may not get it before the next race but
Uh I I’ll tell you how good they are if you’re following the 13s jump online now the results are already online how’s that for incredible yeah so in the 13s for the viewers of HS cyber Tech group they won that race from harken cheeky was third eix got back to Fourth wow
Inred uh plun was next Black Cat fluid s media and then ronon that’s excellent and who’s doing the results are we doing the results live off the starters yeah um on the start finish but it’s actually a pretty sck little outfit you’ve got obviously PR’s Peter timworth you got
Jack Andrew on there I think Brad Andrew is on there it’s uh the cast of thousands and they’re doing a fabulous job so here we here we go the we’ve got skellon en Mak coming into the Finish full noise we’ve almost got a perfect shot lined up here and Dylan’s got a
Great drone picture for you there and they’re over for the win World SK fantastic win to the boys uh I reckon that Daniel Turner and the boys will be very happy with a second place today that’s a banker that’s a banker for sure there comes modern coming in here
Now and look they’ve had a great race too and as you predicted the the bigger little rig and probably some bloody good sailing all of the above yeah look they sailed a great race tactically and their crew work was impeccable and and uh yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if if this
Breeze continues to to ped her out a bit they should have a good next race as well so they’re just coming in now about to cross and and and you would think now after this first race the rest of the crews have worked out where they want to be
Positioned on the course you me on the course yeah yeah you would hope well you’d hope but you know we saw boats go to both sides of the course and you know we were talking before about where your boys were though you couldn’t have been any further right than they were but
They ended up getting back into the group in not bad shape I think they lost a little bit I think they lost about a minute yeah yeah yeah I think still hard left is or left is is percentage pay I agree yeah next boat to come in we have a
Pretty close battle in a in a pretty tight run to the finish here but it looks like to me like imagine are going to uh take fourth place G and close here between SK will just steal a place from great result for uh Rod Carter there and also banjo Nicholson showing some
Consistency this will be close here between fluid and slyy real close s managed to get in front of botney AIS down this run and Domino’s leading both those boats in Domino’s next in oh this is going to be tight Clint it’s going to be real tight I’ve got a
Horrible feeling Sly might get there yeah I think you’re right mate yeah we’ll give it to sub buy a no next up Zoe dfield and team in botney Access well they’ve had a great result we’ll see if uh Ace are flying a flag when they come down yeah with that was messy wasn’t
It but yeah often often people leave that on the water and and that’s a beautiful thing about skiff racing unless it’s completely blatant yeah but yeah generally people are just too lazy to turn up at the process is that what it is though I reckon yeah yeah yeah I do a lot of
Other sailing reg where quite so relaxed yeah yeah and then as a coach I go what you didn’t put a flag up what for that yeah well I mean the the trade is you’re going to be in a protest room till you know 7 8:00 at night yeah or
Back there at 9:00 in the morning the morning and and what’s that going to do to your next day yeah yeah Lee napton next over got out of jail with a ninth there yeah yeah top 10 the ace boys yes I can’t see a flag flying yeah they’ve forgotten about it
Already yeah oh what what which Mar granding yeah like goldfish and here’s our boys on the next Blue yeah tar Tara next over that’s a good race from Tom and the boys swell ever consistent those guys then uh Ryan yings and the team on noes youth and we’re going red P’s getting
Very yeah this is going to be tip s racing are going to get the the best of the best of this from oh Eric you got a red Spiner finish and then looks like Naomi then red pumps oh this is messy this is very messy there’s red spiners everywhere iy next to
Cross little disappointing for Army I’d say yeah yeah still it’s not a 37 so it’s not a 37 and and and it happens so quickly Rob Rob will be treating it like it’s a 37 yeah you’ll want to come out swinging very hard the next Contender next over will
Um but yeah look look at how close you know they were just on the back of six boats Crossing nose to tail or side by side and the difference between a 1 and 14th and the 20th big numbers yeah big numbers yeah Nick Connor is just over in
The uh the cunninghams he was deep so he made some gains next is TTR yeah barley went around that bottom Mark in seventh or so yeah they got a bit lost up there but that’s them Crossing now and then first state lending from St George but the good
Thing is that they’ll probably look back at them and say well we can do it we can be there we can mix it up with them we just we’ve just got to you know be a little bit more consistent maybe a little conservative maybe hang with the
Good guys and just work harder on the boat speed yeah yeah that’s that’s some pretty good advice isn’t it Bozo like if you’re not sure stick go where the good guys are going and just try and concentrate on the boat speed is the key and and look Jimmy and how many times
Have you seen it when you’re out training and there’s two boats and two boats will go super fast together together yeah because you’re both working exceptionally hard you’re not falling asleep for 20 seconds and letting that boat go you know you’re losing you know not not as boat speed
Well back back in the day when we used to train against each other wasn’t necessarily slacking off for any other reason than the BL barking at us from the coach bit very very true but you don’t want to let that other bat go so
So so you know for the work hard for the guys that are coming up if you go around the bottom market and you’re with Lee or you’re with imagine or you you’re with um ruffy you know stick with them y work hard just work on work on he and just
Stay with them cuz you’re sure as hell will end up in a reasonable spot at the top Mark but yeah as you say Clint you know when we when we’ve got boats Crossing six boats Crossing within a second of each other you know depending on what
Side of that Bunch you’re on you know you could be 11th you could be 20th you could be yeah totally and and and the natural reaction is often to go okay I’ll just bail out of this and I will get a miracle somewhere yeah and you
Just won’t get that Miracle there are no Miracles out there there are no Miracles it’s just hard work I always remember Aunt King off a stunt line you know we were a little bit maybe boxed off a stunt line and he was a great one just say boo let’s just
Grind gr gr grind and you know it’s it’s a metal of inches inches inches and suddenly you’ve got a foot suddenly you’ve got M suddenly you’re ahead and you’re in a controlling position but you’ve just got to grit your teeth and keep at it yeah just going to zip across the course
Here just looking at some of the the next bunch of boats come through we had we we had a big bunch of boats go through that included uh fire stopping and uh there one of the heat windows from Bell group just crossing there yeah Bell group coming in a bit deep just
Ahead of the um Fireball what does Bella group do I don’t know Clint but would you like to Google it let us know I’m on it I’m on it oh those chit is on it so cjk I no maybe if we give him a shout out
Something good we might get a bit of bit of product well there you go I should know they’re in the building game they’re a door manufacturer door manufacturer okay they don’t sound like a they don’t I thought I thought it must be like uh you know creams and Potions
That’s what that’s what that’s what I was thinking you know maybe maybe it’s a salon somewhere and you you and I could go and get a facial oh well now now we got a new door we’d be there all day I hope I’m right there b grp If I’m
Wrong send me a mage message yeah yeah next across be kamikazi from middle Harbor oh hang on I’ve for got a bell group here’s a kitchen manual supplier as well oh here we go h on hang on grass cutting excuse me Bella group you’re cutting grass that looks like their signs
Doesn’t it yeah that’s it molting shrub work weed control well that that’s uh that’s a service you definitely don’t need CL because you’ve been cutting people’s grass for years boom boom boom thank you Dolly you keep there’s another race to go here uh where was B group oh we’ll have
To go back okay yeah I’m going back I’m guessing they’re up in the lake mcari area there’s the uh Queens Landers that was over and didn’t go back unfortunate for them lot of effort for them for nothing and unfortunately for some of these uh boats have finished first like like you
Know we’re right sort of down at almost to Bright and the Sands how far down the uh in botney Bay we are um you know the clubs just sat a little bit too far if you wanted to go into a rig change if you wanted the lead
Boats yeah there’s a few venues the 16s um go to that you know the start is right in front of the club and there’s an opportunity there if you got a half decent crew that are quick at rigging and unrigging it doesn’t have to be
Pretty but um you can get in change a rig and get back out you know interesting you bring that up Jimmy because you know what you don’t see much of these days as Shore crew no you do not so you go go back to your olden days you
Know when I far back you going but you know back in the day especially in the 18 Footers but a lot of the top 16 guys had had a Shore crew um and uh yeah they were always they’d help rig they’d help unrig and in the case of an emergency
They’d be running around in a in a boat with spare parts and stuff and driving to regads as a co-driver to do the long drives and stuff like that and I don’t think I see anyone with a Shore crew these days well fluid say I’m a Shore crew but
Just not a good one so this Bella group here you got Dion with the fire stopping and Dion’s the manager the manager is yeah most of the East Coast looks like they’ve got a place in South Australia there so they’re big they’re big they do lots of stuff grass cut they’re doing
They’re doing a lot more than grass cutting they’re doing all sorts of things they’re big we need bigger signage from Bell group please noted noted should we get up to some mischief and see what else we can get Clint to Google oh really Stitch
Him oh you know you know he’s off to uh yeah it’s Clint it’s Clint’s last day with us today so we should Stitch him up but you haven’t already stitched him up yeah exactly he has he has feelings you know oh stuffing his face with Lolly so he’s going to get diabetes
Anyway so just recapping the uh results from race four first skel on the the making boys brilliant effort from the Belmont Club second moon and Yachts third modern concept constructions fourth imagine signage fifth SK sixth Insight seven dominoes eth suby nine fluid 10th botney access 11 NES and 12th
Ace and in the 13 foot SKS cyber Tech group Theo uh from the Manley Club second was Harkin third was cheeky fourth eix fifth plon then we had black cat fluid s media and then ronon and um soon though the uh the botney scaffold girls had a bit of a
Shocker why don’t we uh hear from from peacocks to the dusters they yesterday had a win yesterday and I went and had a little chat with uh with Sophie on the the botney so we got that we’ll uh play that little video here with race two’s winner Craig
From the Bella group that’s not Sophie but uh hold on just having some technical diffic difficulties it’s not not technical the uh the Lolly jar just went around the boat so everyone’s a little bit it up and pressing but from the Bella group uh St the guys from the B
Group that I caugh up with we got theine right and then kind of worked away through the pack of get there and do the B grp one first off saw good line of pressure and I think we were around third at the bottom Mark and then everyone else kind
Of went um left and we went right and it paid off and then it just two boat races from there with us and NES and we even managed to come out on top today but was a good race yeah yeah I’ve had a red hat for basically all the sound I’ve done so
Yeah just a little tradition I have all right I’m here with uh the winner of heat two of the Australian thir and gift titles uh Sophie Hart congratulations thank you very much must be pretty stoked uh unfolded very funny for the finish it was definitely surprising you know it was a bit weren’t
Expecting it but you know yeah we’re definitely happy with it and did you know what you had to do compared to what you seen happen with the Harkin or you guys just winged it um well not really but we saw what they did and then you
Know kind of went from there but yeah no Huda for them so of just went with it yeah what we yeah I saw it in the S instructions but I wasn’t really too sure so yeah but we’re definitely happy with it but yeah yeah it’s great I know
Dolly who’s Bella’s dad was on he’s on with us for the week he was stok so uh he was cheering believe dad was cheering it was pretty happy so team manager yeah of course and um great sponsoring the botney scaold guys yeah huge support from them so definitely happy with
That there you go got finally got around to it uh yesterday’s winners F the races and um what I’m just waiting for I think the last vat now to finish which is Eric’s just about to come into shot there Eric’s removals so yeah the the girls the girls were
Very excited to take their first win of the Nationals in the in the 13 Jimmy but they were at the same time they felt quite bad for uh hiding in orando who made that error um at the finish with the with the shorten course and well it was quite confusing cuz the committee
Took away one of the rounding marks put the boat there and then the checked flag uh the Checker boy was still yeah in the water you know you can’t blame Heidi and Alando for that but you know they I actually asked them the question yesterday and they okay that’s fine like
You know yeah they they took it well they took it very well so and and but yeah the I’m saying the girls actually did feel for them oh you got it and although they kind of worked out what was going on they’d also seen how the Skiffs were going through and figured
That was the way to do it um but yeah disappointing for the harken team um they were in the lead and and deserve the win but uh yeah they’re boun they’re bouncing back already they did win the next race and they just racked up another second um so yeah they’ll be
They’ll be back in and they even after their mistake they still got I think it was fifth so yeah um they they’re they’re a long way from not out of this riat yet that’s for sure and for the viewers at home 16 foot skip results are up from this
Race so canum results or have we got overalls as well I think the race results go up which triggers the overalls to uh get up up upgraded straight away so there you go the boat finished a minute ago the last boat and the results already up so there you go
It’s amazing now I’ve just I’ve just had um I’ve just had a message from piler say that the belly group is a cleaning company who sent you that pilard hey thank you mate thanks Jimmy now as I look around I mean um the gifts are heavily sponsored who who do
You reckon is the best looking sponsored ski oh the fire sto defin hero definit and you’re going to say the fluid I’m not actually I’m going to say the man fluid just stands out like pup’s nuts it does yeah the moona looks excellent too I mean it’s they’ve got the Spiner they
They’ve got the um you know the Sonage on the sales I think the black really makes the Sonage stands out though yeah and the fluid I must say Clint the fluid does look good yeah and it’s distinctive easy to see easy to see yep and there was a skiff actually called
Ez2c back in the day W they the company that made the calendars for companies I think for memory but now I think the cunninghams is good looking boat yeah always always like the signage on the cunninghams it’s easy to pick as well yeah it’s I think it’s worth
Putting a bit of time into your into your your colors and the look of the boat yeah you know certainly nice I mean a lot of these sponsors are probably sponsoring For the Love of it and not looking for a return yeah however you know I think just to have your name on
The sales and be be supportive people in the class support the people that are in the class yeah which which is important they do they do definitely oh look at that there’s a good looking vat there’s a good looking doe yeah what do those what do those fluid guides do
They they one of Sydney’s leading REM Builders grass cutters cleaning company they do remedial building because if they built something it it a need remedial thank you do wait how do I get off this boat okay so for the viewers at home the overalls are up for the 16s which is
Imagine sign is leading on 23 points Sly on 29 Points skellon on 40 points Moon and Yachts 42 they’re equal with sail racing then next is Domino’s seventh is fluid building on 55 eighth is inside building from Belmont 56 ninth suc building 60 and ring out the top 10 is swell racing on
62 and then we’ll have a quick look at the 13s just bear with me you guys just Talk Amongst yourself or find the well we’re waiting for you to come up with the goods mate I’m just seeing the messages flood into my phone about the Bella
Group okay I apologize yeah je we said we sorry okay you’ll be doing the tour the apology next you know what they say about marketing though there’s there’s good and they’re bad and it’s all good okay the uh in the 1 foot skips we have eix so racing leading on 10 points
From cybertech group 25 next is s media on 25 then in fourth is harken on 27 then fifth is fluid 28 six plun Cafe Seven is Bartley constructions eight is Black Cat nine QED and Runing at the top 10 is cheeky so there’s the updated results to
Date a match without a drop that’s without a drop the drop comes in after this next race so the next race when the drop start to come into play it it it will all reshuffle again the big the shuffling de chairs on the Titanic so
We’re not far off the uh the 5 minute gun here for the uh the 16 the 5 minute Hooter I should say and it’s been a while for me but it’s two drops now is it it used to be only one drop it’s two drops if they get
Through all Races if they only do I think eight there’s only the one the one drop so yes thank you Maddie Waters and James piled Pilgrim for uh just clearing up what the uh the Bella group do they’re the the Belmont gift club’s cleaning contractors now everyone
Knows they do a lot they do a lot yeah yeah that’ll be branching out into all the other things you now said Clint well and for and for everyone messaging my phone can you please stop it I’m trying to commentate on a sailing race here you just ignore it Dolly
That’s all you got to do I’ve got it I’ve got it on silent so uh turn it off and read it afterwards a bit like the sailing instructions so so Dolly just going through some of these sponsors while we’re waiting here for for a start but employment hero what do they do so
That’s a a business who manages all your payroll entitlement superannuation uh all that sort of stuff uh very big it was a start startup company by its founder Ben Thompson and uh they have been massively successful um uh dealing with all a lot of the big Banks big companies right down doesn’t
Matter the size of your business and I could recommend a fluid building that uh lots of people sort of subcontracting that out the days indeed yeah yeah and it keeps you up to date with all the changes in employment and legislation and stuff all that stuff it sort of happens automatically for
You so the reserve day comes into play tomorrow so we won’t be here tomorrow we’ll be back Thursday for One race we will have signal the uh the scheduled outages has now apparently been moved to night works for us so fantastic because Ben Thompson from employment hero had
Kindly our 5 minute yeah Ben Thompson had kindly offered to uh to lend us his starlink if we had needed it thank you very much for that and and and excuse my ignorance what styling so my mate Elon Musk your mate yeah yeah we’re all
Besties we we hang out you know we we hang out and he’s been putting Clint for I know you I know you you know you don’t get out much I’m a builder but he’s been putting all these satellites in the atmosphere right and he’s developed this system that where no matter where you
Are in the world you can have this little system and and you will have just for the price of uh it’s actually pretty reasonable is it yeah yeah but you’ll be making Elon richer but that’s good because he’ll take me out to denimore often oh well he’s probably down to his
Last 100 billion isn’t he something like that yes Tesla right four minutes folks um just looking up course I don’t know whether the P’s seen this that there’s a slow moving barge getting pushed across the middle of the track is now you’re there Jimmy I’m sure they’ll be able to avoid that
Jimmy I bet you I know a few boats that’ll be like a like one of those Mozzy things in the fish and ship shop it’s like a drink station a midpoint drink station it’s pretty low profile though they while they concentrating they might not pick that wonder where he’s off to
Jimmy his current heading might be going through the gate at the moment wonder if he’ll take the left or the right gate coming down to 3 minutes we’ve got a lot of boats on course side of the line we are we are only under P flag so no
Restriction as to them being behind the line with a minute to go yet um I’m thinking we might with the conditions that we’re looking at and the tide Etc I’m hoping we might get a clear start away this time and This breeze looks all right too we’re sort of 15 16 17 knots
Still quite patchy though isn’t it it is patchy there’s a few holes you’ve got to stay out of it and looking at it Clint which is still still favoring the left well it actually looks pretty good straight up the guts does it does at the moment
Presses in the middle yeah yeah yep and it’s look and it’s looking a little soft on the edges it is so uh it’ll be interesting to see what the big guns do there’s a the sh Tech boys I don’t like to play favorite but I do like the Su te boys always smiling
Always smiling they’re good lad speak speaking you have a great sponsor there a great sponsor yeah building Consultants Steve Bowen it’s not a bad BL steo juus family I was lucky enough to spend um many years selling with sto won a few titles with that BL yeah want to K cup
With him too that’s the most important one yeah Barry hod if you’re listening thank you mate good day hji hello Saint too Saint if you’re out there good day mate he’s a new hji coming up to a minute 30 and looks like the majority of boats are are
Looking at the top end of the line at the moment but there’s still plenty of scope for them to uh to head on down further further down the line we we do have do have the little I think it’s a little general down there is it absolutely so absolutely so Lee napton
In the noes so the way that you can tell that no is see Theos a solid logo okay yeah a line logo not a solid logo now he’s driving around we go through the same thing in the 18s thank you for n for sponsoring two boats three boats three boats he’s got
The Queensland boat as well inside a minute now and we’ve got a lot of Heavy Hitters up the boat Bend here so we’ve got at the bottom of the boat end group we’ve got Moon Su Eric Ace uh of of the the good guys and G
We’ve got a lot of boats trying to cram in right at the start boat including toar Cunningham’s fire stopping and and again do the noes blue with a big unless he’s going to flop straight over on Port and leg it out he’s in a great position there
He is Clint but if I was him I’d be at the pin yep now you’re right Dolly just and he’s Mentor witty he loved the pin and he’s in a whole world of pain with NHS just dropped into it there now he’s just been buried yeah being buried looks
Like a clean start to me I’m thinking y Phil West has just dropped the flag on the deck thrown it on the deck he’s thrown it on the deck great start from the imy the sly Ace they they’re off the line nicely that we can’t see the boats at the pin
End which means they got out of there well um daav o Conor in the fluid has opted to tack out at the boat looking like he likes the right PL oh he had a shocker of a start he got buried off the start there yeah he had to bail out yeah
Yeah next Blue rolled over the top of him and that was the end of him and we’re seeing the majority of the fleet flop over here to get out of there on Port if they haven’t got a clear Lane so a lot of these boats that started up at
The load in they’ve tacked out and they’re looking for some clear air looking for a lane uh the boats at the pin end they’ve elected to put the hammer down and head out to that left hand side we’ve got Sly and Amy and moonin sailing a pretty
Tight High Line while the boats who were right at the pin which included uh noes and uh sail racing and imagine signage they put the hammer down they’re sailing low fast Groove trying to get to that left hand side as quickly as possible as possible which originally was clints and
Might pick of what to do but we’ll see what pans out for this race it’s a different there’s good pressure out here now there is yeah I mean you look at subtly there they just blasting away they’re probably 5° lower than moonin and absolutely blasting yeah so racing of elected to tack
Out they’re just uh taking a few Sterns on the way they went behind Army and here comes Bella group they’re a cleaning [Laughter] company but if you like they can mow your Lawns as well yeah and uh yeah so racing back again they obviously there was a pack of
Stared tackers there and they were going to have to take a lot of Sterns so they’ve elected to go back SK they’re sort of in the mid pack and they’ve elected to tack and get out of there and here comes uh the aforementioned barge can we see that barge on the screen coming
There got Bo on it boys and he doesn’t know boys he doesn’t know which way to go yeah hold us steady mate get we’ve got got the the barge on on screen there now they look like clearance marks or DP FS but they wouldn’t be taking feds
Offshore in that barge I don’t think exclusion marks that’s what they look like cjk going to have a rush across him put on your Lads pin the ears and go for it so they’re going they suddenly in the moon and still going out to the left
Y there poor bloke in the barge he probably goes across here every Tuesday at the same time and there’s no one out here and then turns up today and 52 SKS coming at you and we’d like to thank the people at ABS barge marine services o barge o barge O Okay o barge
Marine services for their cooperation and there is sponsorship uh opportunities available if they want to get in contact yeah I think sure they’re watching I think they do uh barges can’t get that wrong and cleaning back on to port and charging Amy looking good is looking great if
This right hand side if the pressure holds in um and uh pressure and height uh iy and swell uh looking good of the right hand group um of the leftand group we’ve got Insight going for a look back oh we just saw a close one between an outb
Marine just not on screen there’s a manly boat with a red cross on there so I will have to find out who that is do and yeah I’m not sure give them some pointers I think they may be the uh the young guys from the 13s from Hornsby
Kingu sailing under the manly Banner so okay maybe give them a few little pointers on what to do if anyone’s uh paying attention to this then go and see him in the rigging part give my hand so yeah we’re back on iy again now and um they’ they’ve taken our advice of
Putting the hammer down and going as quick as they can to a corner um and so far so good that’s looking good for them and there’s at the moment we’re following them up this right hand side of the course and the pressure is really filling in here isn’t
It Clint it is no it’s actually looking last yeah pretty even across the course we’ve got on the on the left side sort of mid we’ve got skellon and cjk you’re looking at now you can see skel con to Windward of them and then we’ve got the
Majority of that leftand Fleet another J it must be 2 or 300 MERS further left there they are now so they’ve really banged that left hand side probably pretty all the way pretty much all the way to the lay line and and who’s out there again modern’s way out there
Yeah we can see Sly mooning noes Dominoes Dominoes yeah um sly I think are in there yep sly’s in there inside of TAC back over um along with Domino’s it’s hard it’s hard to see from this angle but you know like to from this from here it looks like they’re
Overstepped yeah and we thought that last time and it seemed that red pumps were probably the only one who might have gone a touched too far but they ended up pretty much on the lay line red pumps are in that group again um I think we’ve got both red
Pumps out there as well well as Eric storage well you think red pumps ready to be out there like I think Bruce is making a real point of owning the pin this doing his best yeah like there’s no reason why you’d own the pin and they want to go go right
So the guys out the right though they got plenty of pressure like there’s is um they their Veil waves they got good Veil waves and Stern waves coming off them yeah and it looks to me is that ribbon looks like Tara over there too is
It Tara and fluid Cloud y but at the moment we’re looking at this Left Hand Group we’ve got on the leid end of the group we’ve got Insight we’ve got uh dominoes stepped out in front of a few but uh in the most Winward position we’ve got imagine signage sub and Luna
Um there they are now they’re really well positioned um but yeah you’re right they’re on a lay line there I think so and it’s modern there is it looks like modern’s getting dirty air to subtly which they will not be liking uh is that modern or is it
Imagine imagine imagine is excuse me yeah modern concept just behind that group actually yeah side with notes yeah so yeah they’re sort of giving Chase s racing in a LD position there as well so sort of Usual Suspects the guys guys are looking good on that side the the money the guys on
The right ining hold hold your tickets hold your tickets folks hold your tickets the fluid building is looking very very good on the right hand side and how many times does that happen Dave probably wanted to go left yeah and he got he got
Box he got he had attack he went out to the right and he’s come out of it all right I’m sure he’ll tell you it was part of his race plan right from the beginning I can I I’ll freely admit there’s plenty of times when it happened to me they are going to
Lead beside besides uh Tara fluid and Tara are going to lead this race by quite some distance come on flid Clint’s getting excited folks getting excited all right yeah are you going to do like uh Craig Nichols and hold on to the boat I’m not I’m going I’m going to say
Go boys you want your name on the trophy yeah and they’ve judged this lay line impeccably just beautiful sailing from the boys and they’ve done a lot of work on this boat I will say these guys thank you very much it’s going to make my boat better
When I get back to me yeah so there you go fluid building first around Dave o Conor Fang Warren and Phil hmer and they’re going to have probably a a 15c lead I’m guessing 20 seconds maybe to Tom clout and the team on toara here the
Cheers going up at the St George Club as we speak oh well done to Gara and uh next in with we’re going to have a great great comeback from Nick Connor and the boys on real estate so they’ve stepped it up Cunningham’s boys and this looks good for Army here
Okay cunninghams around now then Amy next so that so that was a massive gain for the boats out to the right it was we picked that didn’t we Dolly no not this time did but if you did stay quiet all credit to you youy next round and
NHS with ska electrical the two Young Guns Joel Bell on the NHS and banjo Nicholson on the SK quite a difference in rig Dimensions there by the looks NHS very small Mains isn’t it short footed so so again there was a there was a win there was a win
Out to the right uphill and the guys have going the opposite direction downhill which goes against everything goes against it it goes against it you know and and interestingly on the last race I I couldn’t understand why no one was going down the right hand side
Downhill who am I I’m sitting in the boat with a microphone on so we got a imine Sly swell noes moonin oh hang on it skellon D skellon DED early as did Domino so they they they’re going to go over to the aforementioned favored side Clint and we’re so good so
Far here we’ve um so good so far getting in behind Moon which is great great sailing guys yeah fire stopping in there Contender modern concept Su Tech a bit of a gaggle behind and uh Eric’s npg insight and Pepsi Max and your new favorite boat next around the Bella group The group there
They are they going bit of a better one from the employment hero boys oh there’s a bit of carage at the to Mar folks we’ve got the fireball just came intacted right on the mark little blue dinosaur nowhere to go they’re in the water actually it’s actually quite uh dangerous where they
Are right there guys ripping around the corner Fireball trying to looks like trying to do their turns maybe maybe should have got a little bit clearer the fleet they that’s cmer unfortunately gee this back of the fleet there’s some some tight action going on here yeah so things will get a little bit
Noisy here for a moment while we uh the noise isn’t too bad do if you put the O props On You’ uh you hear it new sexy little dance shoes the camera cat’s got Jimmy’s just going to open up the podes and we’re going to head down down
Course so skel con is it so yeah um what’s a black Ro black Spa down to thear that’s Tara top PL just in front of of Cunningham looks like we’ve still got fluid nicely in the lead but uh get you down to the bottom of the course and get you some
Pictures there’s just a massive lot of Bo boats going down the the Eastern side of the course for the moment literally nose to tail and super Tight Cunningham giving chasee to toar can see fluid with the blue Spiner have just Jed heading for the gate and I’d suspect they’re going to take the right turn the other two mes are likely to follow them in but top CL selected to J drop here and take the left hand Mark
Actually not a bad option he’s made he’s made some ground on FL there he’ll probably get he’ll be first round yep he’s made some ground on him so tar first around andar did to go and take a more of a left hand downhill then yes yes yeah yeah yeah they DED out reasonably
Early so I’m not sure what fluid would be doing here but you’d probably get a real close a Together they’re going to they’re going to love us for just giving them a bit of bit of wave action oh well it’s very minimal wave action that’s that’s the cost they PID for us for for talking them up for to be famous yeah big game here from jel diesel NHS so we’ve just
Had Army go around the right Mark we’ve got NHS now taking the left Mark just in front of SK Drive drop oh this is going to oh baby did there he did well there yeah that’s when it’s good to have have some B glad big glad in the middle
Yeah they got round just inside uh TTR civil Sly and moonin taking the right turn imagine and noes taking the left turn behind there speaking of big guys Brit Davis he’s a big lad but I tell you what he’s Nimble round above you you wouldn’t notice him skel Cott really nice tight rounding
There with swell sw’s going to have to EAS up a bit here otherwise they going to come aboard all good Domino’s Contender right hand Mark we’ve got uh modern concept constructions left hand we’ve got s racing going to lead Sue in around there and and if anything
I think it’s freshened in a little bit here which it’s great it’s been AIT great racing bit of a build so far so funny twist the head of so good J yeah yeah the guys will be no be loving that new head there it’s all about sales get
It the D jokes here they come another super tight rounding here we’ve got Tri Becka Pepsi Max botney everyone giving roomle the oh this isting looks like fun we should join itpg rivon they’re the Smart Ones they hung back a bit and just poked it up the
Inside and stayed out of the mess smashed it out yeah around the other Mar you got employment Hero trying to go up hill with a spin half yeah there’s a not in the Howard folks I mean they’ve all been very good around these bottom marks though they’re giving
Each other room yeah not too bad yeah Bella Bella group got caught on the outside of employment hero there CJ K they’re getting a bit untidy today do you know who I have not seen is red pumps seing it red pumps red red pumps red red red pumps red pumps red currently
Heading to the domestic terminal with their spica stuck up something’s something’s gone to miss there with their Spiner shoot that’s the thing with the Spiner shoot too if youve got a knot right up inside the boat too if it goes can’t get to it can’t fix it yeah they’ve they’ve sorted that issue
Out decided to create a bit of a hazard at that man look like they’re going to run straight over the rig there dear that’s trouble Brewing there yeah he’s going straight over that rig just lift up the CER there you go that’s a CMG man flu sandwich that’s a party
There now who bought the lollies now you’re right Jimmy I was looking at the red Spiner up there thinking it may have been um it’s a white hole but it’s not them and yeah they’re nowhere to be seen if uh if anyone is on shore and uh
Knows what’s going on with no and oh God that was close if someone little blue dinosaurs like playing bumper cars out here today good way to get snow every everyone right yeah look it is it’s nice that’ll get DOD to steer the boat one or
The other that’s how you get to you get Jimmy there is a few Skippers around that are a little bit bumper barish they you know Dodge them cars absolutely yeah hit first ask questions later but the racing this week is so close it’s that tight you know it’s yeah it’s no no
Surprise there’s a bit of rubbings racing out here because yeah the rounding marks what was that one like seven a breast wasn’t it you sort of got to expect it haven’t you yeah Queen Landers on screen the No Sunshine they’re they’re nice and relaxing Queens Landers always are yeah indeed
And and what was that old boat I reckon you’ll find that was the old skilled old skilled I was going to say that that yellow s of stood out oh yeah Maybe Sunshine no Sarah thorburn there you go th Yeah Alex hard is it right Alex B There He are we’re on again Alex CH old though that was the vobe I believe is that right yeah oh that did very very Well looking at the npg there and you can look at the water there folks you can see we’ve just had a little bit of a a bump in in Breeze strength right now um the breeze has come back in it’s taken looks like a little bit of a a
Tick across to the pretty much due south at the moment so majority of the fleet have gone to the right hand side yeah yeah they’re working that South there now which is the side that paid for fluid in that last we’ve seen the majority of the sleep go to that right
Hand side the only and hopefully we get up to the 13s here they look like they’re just about to go around the top Mark is that evix potentially leading there they rip it away yep evix Then followed by Thek and Then and you can see how quickly these 1 for SKS get up to Pace little bites not much on them when they go they go they’re actually quite a handful in the BL l a manly Clint when uh racing got called off you’d always grab a third and
Go out and donate a new rig to someone I did inevitably I’ll never forget going out with Bernie ker one day it was about 35 knots and I said to Bernie whatever you do do not let it go and he let it go and The Mask came back in two
Pieces and there was about 100 people on the deck cheering cheering yeah yeah c yeah on screen right up the back door cheeky here so that’s the kitchen maker on screen so it’s plon and cheeky it looks like uh fluid might have extended there on the in the
16s just see the uh the fluid 13 go around the top Mark and then I bet sopia and Bella won’t talk to me for the rest of the week look look at where they’re they’re coming yeah it looks to me like they’ve got some sort of problem a gear problem of some kind
Because uh the the boat doesn’t look like it’s getting through the water very well at the Moment it’s on the 13 AR they like there’s our leaders just approaching the top Mark so they went ran together at the bottom Mark and and uh fluid obviously had a very good work know Phil had time there just to you know wipe his nose he wasn’t
Straight in at the Sho obviously very relaxed yeah Jeepers I’m you know they are looking very good and Tom clout in tar is managing to hang on to Second Place leading in from from Nick Conor’s Cunningham so there’s a couple of Crews here that are going to be very happy
After this race if they can maintain these positions very good race for the two go 3 2 1 h on the H but a great set otherwise little bit to go and look you know sometimes it’s better just to get it up get it going and then you fix the
The other bits later grab it in a job yeah yeah I just went in and pulled it up just then there’s cunninghams in third there’s the big sausage look at him he doesn’t even leave the gunnel he just arm over arm Nick NE next around is Amy just coming around the mark
Now this guy this will go up in a Flash yeah what bunk shoulder right wind would set always the problem will on Lads when they’re off yeah and the ever consistent imagine Sonage and that’s the thing isn’t it a consistency will win a regret it’s what
It’s all about Y and they haven’t had a race win so you know it’s just goes a win but yeah they just kept it in there all the time and Sarah in souly once again also having a nice consistent she’s only had one One race outside of the 10 I
Believe TTR Civic so TTR originally the guys on that are from ilur yeah coming up the sale it’s and George yeah yeah well aaar basically uh folded as far as a a club gift ago yeah and uh great great for St George cuz we inherited a lot of the guys up
The come up the freeway it’s only a short drive and um good to have Phil and Rich and their enthusiasm that they put into the the club and class and uh have them as part of the St George fold oh and and and and professionalism you know rich rich none’s been around
For a long Time so s racing sort of sitting back in I don’t know 13 14 position it’s not really their Breeze do you think or yeah I’m not sure you know normally they go well sort of down range with either rig but they’re certainly finding it’s difficult today
Yeah and like we said it’s a boat speed track yeah if you’re going fast it’s easy you know you got time to think you can go the wrong way and and and you still don’t pay for it yeah just looking at moon in there leading out these other two are just
Soaking some depth and going Quick it’s almost a carvon copy of the last race with skellon and and moonin going downhill except RS reversed yeah skel they’re starting to roll them here some wheels on definitely doesn’t look like there’s much Moon can do about it set D out of there they didn’t really have a
Choice um we’re going to see noes drive as well and Chase them down and no surprise that skillcon has then gone with them as to so to not let them get Away but yeah just fantastic racing we’re seeing not on screen for the viewers fluid just going around the mark now they’ve extended their lead massively over toara yeah it’s been a good run been a good run trying to get a time on That so yeah we’ve still got uh we’re just with the chasing chasing group for a moment fl’s having a bit of a swimming practice there the 13 1 I give myself a heart attack Jimmy so I’m thinking that uh they they’ve probably got 30 seconds on them
Now and it’s it’s the the distance between two and cunninghams are fairly similar if anything I’s put a bit into Them so we got fluid around Tara around all those boats holding station and next round we’ll have cunnings they’re going to take the left hand turn while army takes the right hand turn so I’m 100% sure these guys will be uh hard on the um on the they’ll be
They’ll be riding off the compass but they’ll be just driving these boats as hard as they can possibly go yeah Sarah Lee job there and she’s in a bit of a cross with uh with imagine signage and imagine signage you’re going to take the right and Sarah’s going to take the
Left turn at the bottom good late drop on the southerly we see how they go getting this away they should be okay little bit late perhaps but all good all is good there is a 13 ja sized in their way at the moment but at the moment they
Should get around them okay don’t bother them TTR Civic the the whole Fleet looks like it’s going to the right hand side of the track now it just depends on where they go they go they go outside the shoots or they decide to go under the
Shoots here’s a good run in here good view of the boats coming into this bottom Mark yeah once again super congested isn’t it yeah that’s a great drop from the well done Lads yeah I think Scotty just gave him a high five there well done benj and it’s great to see these young
Kids like they’re just nailing it so Domino’s noes skillcon modern concept constructions from moon and Yachts while on the right hand turn we’ve had uh NHS and and Bella group followed by Erics and I’d say Moon’s had a little loss down on that run unfortunately yeah I’d agree mate
Yeah so racing coming in while P LA and tri Becka get a little bit up close personal uh they’re trying to stay high so they can get yeah you’d almost want to see one of the rubberized crash boats in there just to protect the young kids Su
On the right yeah looks like the fij water is it yeah FG water FG water checking the water npg taking the right turn ahead of thurlo Fisher and that’s pretty much our lead lead group spoken for now what happened to uh my fire stopping have you seen them doll or they they
Going and join red pumps somewhere but I can’t see them at the moment Jimmy no oh there they are still going just above Bartley ah yes managed to sell sell them so back in this one got to check out all the positions well exactly yeah well if
Moon can get a 37 he might as well check it out haven’t had that one we better get that one no I think they they sort of only went halfway and tried to hedge their BS and then they went long way out on the right
I seen in gas the whole way so you know just for so just seeing uh what the access coming into the mark there they’ve dropped back a bit for some reason as is uh Bartley construction and it was interesting listening to gra yesterday CU obviously a very you know a fabulous sailor and
But very strategic very tactical s of boates around you you know as opposed to a lot of the culture in this class which is we like going flat out and when it’s light and Shifty a lot of us are not that happy yeah like it’s um it is one
Of those things like it was actually interesting to listen to How grah approaches it compared to the way as you said the ski guys where you know we’re just especially us old sh Downs you just pin the ear back and go as hard and fast as we could and don’t think too much
About it um you know and it was you actually picked each work really well yesterday for us and explained it through the cometary which was really good that we could U Pick a brain of a jewel Olympian yes um you know and how they they sell like you know gr hasn’t
Sell skip like 16 skips per se but uh you know 470 so where it’s a lot it’s a slower boat and they they’re they’re working off each other a lot there’s a lot of strategy there’s a lot in that Compass there’s a lot of positioning um and and
It really it really Shone through and it was probably a perfect day for him to be out there it was good because yeah like sort of examples of what he was saying were unfolding it was like he had the white board in front of him and you know
Hopefully the young kids in particular are listening take the time and watch that back and have a look back through the races and see how it unfolded well about a 47e Olympian and who’s leading the reg a 470 Olympian gold medalist a gold medalist that’s yeah and another 470 campaigner Le na y
Yeah it’s not necessarily the boat that the people sell it’s like what they learn in that environment both of them you know very lucky that they both taught by Victor yeah when you can when you combine those smarts with knowing how to sail a skiff fast it’s a recipe
It’s for for Success yeah yeah and and you know interestingly and I came from the sea Scouts and there’s a big crew that have come from you know a nonformal area of training you know whereas I know Manley are running you know a fabulous program has to do a lot of the sailing
Clubs and they teach the kids about where to be positioning compass work um as opposed to us who just went let’s just go as fast as we can possibly and have fun yeah oh yours is a Cinderella Story Clint how did we do it came from
Boral sea Scouts to to being a multiple national champion and I know we’re not meant to mention beer but it’s the reason I did go over to Manley SK because we heard when we’re 18y old BLS this is a good this is a good fun place
To how good this they pay prize money and there’s um there’s a there’s a couple of beers in it so um Fant and a bunch of good people and and and Ms for Life yeah you know ral’s Ralphie’s one an’s one you know our good mate Bart unfortunately passed
On with us God bless him but yeah certainly A Cinderella Story your one mate didn’t come through the normal formal We Channels I I’d always say and I think I I spoke at one R and said we’re we’re not that good we just work really hard yeah and you always did and and
Impeccable boat preparation always yeah so just looking at the boat builder both had the same boat builder oh who was that who was that good looking was that good looking a great Andrew Dolly deala eix leading the 13s and a nice i’ would say comfortable lead over over
Cybertech at the moment who are who are have we got chasing in we’ve got the kitchen maker we’ve got sale media and hekken so um it’s going to get fairly tight we’re just they’re going to dve Jimmy they’re driving Jimmy all good sorry we’re just uh cat Dr cing
Drones while we’re staying out of Skip’s way and you’re doing a great job here guys is that you know there is a lot going on and uh we’re trying to get pctures for you at home and uh to do so the guys have got to get close so cyber
Tech second round in the 13s so we’ve got James and Jemma Hopkins with a nice little lead heading down to the bottom for the last time in first place in eix hello sha ly hope you’re watching then Kobe and Theo in cybertech giving chases the kitchen maker and S
Medor and then we’ll have Parkin after them and we’ve got the the fluid around the top and it’s daylight it’s daylight second yeah looks like cunninghams have made some big in RS as have suddenly here though so they’re just going to Jive and cover off down to this left
Hand side and that puts them down underneath any chasing opposition will put them in C in good shap they has dropped a couple of places there and they’re also under threat from iy now as well we’ve just we we’ll just keep looking at uh the the fluid belting
Down the track there they no wonder they jive there they have just hooked onto a cracking gust that’s like Top Gun stuff jet fighter Stu off the just going so hard Clint’s getting a little excited here I’ve always wanted to say that since I’ve seen noia
Yeah it’s the fluid hasn’t won for years yeah that’s very getting a bit excited so they’re off and they I can’t see anybody catching them Nick con of around the top Mark just now so that’s got to be probably 40 seconds I reckon um but great job from the cunninghams
Team there they are fine love life Rich Cunningham clear second place that’ll be John Cunningham not Richard next will have Sly iy toara and the everpresent imagined signage so that’s a big game for cunning hands up that leate and and and if if suly can hang on
To a third downhill yeah it’s going to be great for them Point score oh Sarah is just having a such a consistent brilliant brilliant is jellyfish my Goodness honestly folks the jellyfish I don’t know if you could see them in our drone shots today I know you could a couple of days ago the jellyfish in boty Bay here at the moment are just unbelievably thi they are everywhere nice shot of the the fluid giving Chase over uh the kitchen
Maker the kitchen maker has a loose job from the kitchen maker but they man to save it Yeah The boys look voage there they are sending it down to this Finish Line three very cool calm customers those three BLS struggle to find three more experien sailers in those place and is that ebank just about to cross the Finishing Line Yeah it is like eix are going to take the win in the 1 eix have taken the win in the 13 Point SKS there we are now and we’ got crossing the line we’ll probably see them droping j s t hot in their heels Just for the should drop and J but they’re having so much fun they’ve decided to just keep on going to work up hill a little bit further on the way home tell you these guys from cybertech are having a brilliant you know great rega I don’t want to put the mocker on
Them but they credit where credits you that’s a day you want isn’t it Clint like a one two on two race day you more than happy with that get home one piece yeah absolutely and and a day off so you you you’re positive confident going into the next into the
L so next up we have got cybertech with Theo and Kobe over in second place in the 13 foots gifts well done LS and here they come Clint oh I’m excited that’s the first wind from fluida in a well it is M yeah well done boys just had to get rid of the
Crew well the steerer is it steer up for ber get so yeah Dave Dave Fang and Phil that was a very well executed race next over we’ve got Taylor and Tim in the kitchen maker that’ll be a static about that third place one of the father daughter combinations father son combination the
S media with uh Benny our youngest competitor in the Championships and father Daryl fantastic just managed to hold out Heidi and Orlando on harken oh this is a a tight bunching coming in here now on the 13 so who have we got there jmy got CL
In front Clon going to be black cat i d say with the red Spiner y and then cheeky so cunninghams will take second but we’ve got out of the left we’ve got Amy and out of the right we’ve got suly and I think I’s put some time into them
Here they’re coming in hot but they’re on J coming in hot with no rights great job from Nick Conor’s Cunningham’s team to take second place they’ll be very happy about that and where we’re looking at a convergence of two two boats here going hard I think Sou going to take this
Clint yeah s’s got it and I’s got doara so we got Sarah Lee Sly will they J back he’s just going to run it here in third hou fourth Tommy clout toara he’ll be fifth then we’ve got the ever consistent imagine signage coming in sixth place Nathan
Wilmart so now we we start to get the results we get our drop our first drop in we see where where things are really panning out and we’re going to see some big changes today TTR great results for them in seventh place fantastic they’ll be stoked with
That and then uh Daniel Turner and the moonin team and skillon and I’m really pleased to see this we’ve got uh NHS NHS young nicely done nicely done guys nicely done just got to get across that they had a bit of a difficult start to the week but they’ve pulled that one
Together for a good result we got close with MCC just beating dominoes across the line modern concept constructions have got that and then SK no they probably hoping for a little better than that and they’ve just held out swell you’re looking down on Eric there
They’re fully lit up at the boat end and they’ve just managed to hold out Rod Carter’s Insight building next on the screen there we’ve got Contender Contender s cloth and they’ve just crossed in front of the Bigfoot 13 let’s be a close little one here do three or four oh they’re
Running got it Welly the veterans from middle Harbor that’s a great result congratulations and then TR yeah yeah congratulations to the P team from middle Harbour that’s a great result for Mark and the boys the yellow spad doll yeah the botney scaffold just managed to hold out modern concept constructions and that
Benny Brun is there yep Benny BR is in the Newcastle final Planning Group then the fluid 13 just about to cross the line yeah unfortunately I saw them have a swim at one point little bit of a whoopsy that would have been expensive yeah so Ace is coming in here
Now they’ll probably be a bit disappointed with this after the last race who who did we talk up up the first work there you go I didn’t no we we’ll blame you for everything from Tomorrow onwards clink you’re not here to defend yourself that’s right where’s milka so Ace and then th
Fisher from Dr Moine then it’ll be close between botney access and Pepsi Max yeah looks like botney will get that the chocolates on that one Pepsi Max are across in the next group we’ve got uh employment hero in a tight little tussle with Bartley employment hero we’re going to
Have to either soak or job here so they’re coming in employment hero are just going to p them out at the pin end of the line and they’ll be pretty happy with that one they would have been disappointed with the last one so they’re good beating Bartley there narrowly still alive
Yeah and uh water born water born in the in the 13 will be next in they’re having a bit of trouble yep yeah they are waterbor magic marine and here comes fire thing on so this this result for fire stopping I just wonder what it’s going to do to
Their handicap but I suppose they lost minutes didn’t they lost would have lost minutes from yesterday yeah I think uh be the uh end of the blue jersey for the for this point in time for them yeah we should it’s like it’s like uh the tour to France here isn’t it yellow Jersey
The blue jersey the climers Jersey got to figure out what we’re going to do with the polka dot Jersey though Bo yeah yeah is it is that who’s pushing you know what up hill or oh maybe but uh I thought we’d just get a white one and we’ll take him out to
Paintball and I was looking at the wrong boat before it wasn’t the employment Euro it was the other one with a similar spin our back marine and then it’s first dat Landing just crossing in front of the fire stoping front of the fire truck and they will finish in front of the employment
Hero and here comes the Bell group here they come we spoke just the most talked about boat today so not their best race but they certainly got some oh they got some M yeah their phone will be ringing off the hook everyone knows them Y in they come oh and they’re coming
They’re finishing hot too yeah they’re putting on a shot yeah well down B grp kamazi there here comes out n blue the big rig didn’t the breeze freshened in yeah I know but Jeepers I was they might must have had a swim they must have had a swim yeah yeah yeah yeah they
Were that far back no they were not yeah are they heavy on that boat they don’t look that heavy no not that heavy no they quite courageous taking the big rig out showing some guts yeah on him rolled the do you’re probably fine where came
Down and said come on saw the little rig in half and threw it in the bin right you’re not using that yeah yeah get out there and s in your thoughts I was actually lucky enough he took me out for sale on Skelly wag just before they went to Hobart it through
They didn’t go to h no get there yeah I did the same fantastic fantastic so you two that broke the boat yeah well dolly was after me yeah I didn’t touch the spap PO they did let me steer yeah no it’s it’s amazing the power of those those it’s a weapon isn’t
It yeah it’s ridiculous yeah yeah it’s a 25 knots in that is a lot different to 25 knots in a skiff oh and and and interestingly though you know um talking to the guys they were tuning the rigs they tune the rigs very similar to the way we tune a 16 a skip
Rig yeah now we don’t I’ve got no word on we don’t have red pumps out here and I’ve got no word on what has happened to Red pumps but we hope everything’s okay they did get put a new boom on the boat this morning after snapping a boom
Yesterday um which you might remember we’re watching them come into the finish and I said something’s not right there and we were thinking the boom Vang or what was going on the boom had actually creased and had buckled and every time they put the pull the main on it just
Basically folded like a concertina so um one thing I know do that as they approach the club Tina from Manley will be marking them all off the list to make sure they all get home she will and how lucky are we to have Tina absolute Legend of 16t ski sailing and it’s
