A tough day on the race track in front of GRSC on Botany yesterday in some very marginal conditions. Visiting European and world ranked number one Janis Preiss LAT-23, gave us all a lesson on how to handle the light conditions, leading the way with three bullets in all the races yesterday afternoon. A big thank you to Andrew McLachlan from GRSC for his expert officiating for us and the Raceboard crew. A big thanks also to the travelling competitors for making it a successful afternoon.
Last but by no mean least, a big congratulations to James Farley AUS-173 from Marmong for taking out the Free Formula Series this season, Rick Murry AUS-4 from Storm-riders taking out the honours in the Grand Master Formula class and Christian Justesen DEN-111, for winning the Open Devision in the Formula Windsurfing NSW Series for 2014/15. Well done to all the place getters as well and look forward to seeing everyone at the Downunder Pro on Lake Macquarie, where we get to do it all again next wk end!

Sorry guys, I can't get the formatting right
A great days racing even in the tricky and light conditions. I also liked having only one days racing, works really well for a sydney based comp.
It was a great day, Thanks everyone.
Looking forward to the next day of the raceboard series on March 21.
