Team Saab off to Winning Start to the Season

Freshie Opening Day
Saturday 16th October, Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club Opening Day
Elizabeth's Bookshops' boat 'Team SAAB' (with white spinnaker) in front of 'Grand Prix' and 'By and Large' after rounding Bricklanding buoys the first time and heading for Dolphin West. 'Team SAAB' R5 (Harry Schmitz and Gordon Lucas) were first across the line at the finish.
After a very unpromising lack of wind earlier in the afternoon, the vacillating SSEasterly finally gave way to light to moderate sea breeze.. A shortened course saw boats finish early to enjoy  very pleasant Freshie post-race festivities on the lawn.
