This Saturday sailors will be competing for the Queen of the Lake Trophy. This is the traditional season ending event and as such comes with bragging rights through until the commencement of season 2025/26 in October.

After racing, members will enjoy a 3 course meal…and maybe a cold beverage or two, followed by presentation of the seasons Championship, Handicap and Event Trophies.

Please let us know if you are coming so we cater for everyone.

Lake Bonney Yacht Club skippers competed in a resail of Championship heats 11 and 12 which were abandoned just after the Christmas break due to no breeze.
Weather conditions were perfect with a gusty 10 to 15 knot east-southeast breeze coming straight over the town onto the race course.
The Club Championship title was at stake with "Just" defending and only 3 points from "Bandit".
The race course was tricky with an almost predictable 20ish degree shift from east to south and strong winds going upwind which strangely enough lightened off on every downwind leg. This was of advantage to the stronger wind Contenders over the light air flyer Aero7.

Race 1 result :
1st : Contender ""Bandit" B Delaine
2nd: Contender "Pushing Limits" G Ling
3rd: Aero7 "Just" S Thomas

Race 2 got away in the same conditions if not a bit stronger breeze.
"Pushing Limits" got away from the start very well and was not challenged until finishing. "Bandit" was also off to a great start leaving "Just" playing catchup for the rest of the course.

Race 2 result :
1st: "Pushing Limits
2nd: "Bandit"
3rd: "Just"
It was a costly weekend on the scoresheet for "Just" who went from 3 points leading "Bandit" to 3 points trailing, costing him the title, and very nearly dropping another position to "Pushing Limits".
Congratulations to all three skippers on a great season of racing.

Next weekend Saturday 5th April is also a resail of B series Handicap races 1 + 2.
Good luck to all competing with 3 boats capable of gaining the trophy pending the race results.
Hope to see you all there.
Thanks to Joel for the photos from yesterday’s sailing

Saturday 12th April is our Summer Season "Closing Day" with a few important things happening.
Racing is for the Prestigeous "Queen of the lake" 2025 Trophy and also our Presentation dinner.
All are welcome.
