Race Report 10 October 2025

Mainsheet race report for Mark Foy Day, 11 October 2025, the opening race of the season. Australia was a non-starter after a gaff halyard failure, and in shifty conditions swinging from nor'easter to a hard westerly Tangalooma sank near Shark Island, her crew rescued. Yendys, skippered by Michael Van Stom, beat Australia IV (Terry Stewart) by 28 seconds with The Mistake third. The report thanks Selwyn Black, Ryan Paget and volunteers for the Sail Back in Time training program for new sailors.
