Lowe Cup 2017.
Perfect conditions for sailing on a perfect day. The massive Point Leo fleet was dominated by Toby & Colin in the Taser, Stephen Lincoln and Andrew in their Lasers. Toby & Colin crossed the finish line first but Andrew Van Leewen won on corrected time with a stunning piece of sailing. Click on the below link for results.

A close and hard fought race in 15-20km winds from the south east. Stephen Roach, in a remarkable come from behind win, on the last leg, with a brilliant tactical move. James Legge & his crew won the start and were never headed. A deserved win.
