Aunty Jack and 2022 Winter Series Race 9 news
Eventually some news about the last race of our 2022 Winter Series will be published.
One of the many Race 9 features was the first time for many years we had the JOG yacht, built to the Laurent Giles Sopranino design in the 1950’s, Aunty Jack with us. Today we received news from the Cowes (UK ) Classic Boat Museum, where the original Sopranino is displayed, asking us to contribute items of news about how Aunty Jack is going and her importance to our Classic fleet on Port Phillip. Click HERE for more of the Sopranino story.
Other news received from the Cowes Classic Boat Museum was their celebration to commerate 50 years of Uffa Fox. Click HERE to take a look at these UF50 celebrations.

Race Three abandoned at 11:45am. Click on link to check out Winter Series results and Winter Series score after race 3
No wind. It was close to a dead heat to be first across the start line between the Tum Sirocco and Acrospire III. Race adjucicator in the Race Control tower, Tone Hoppe, gave it to Acrospire III. Race abandoned just when Acrospire III had a glow up to lead the bunched up fleet to be first to the top mark with Fairwinds not far behind. In their own small breeze windows,Ettrick was the first boat to pop a kite. She was quickly follwed by Avian and Dingo. It looked like they had a chance to follow Fairwinds and be ahead of Kingurra around the to mark mark. Two Tum under kites approaching each other were a race feature at the time the Race Officer said enough. Thanks to all those 16 boats of the Classic fleet that competed in Race 3. Cyan was sadly missed the street talk was a problem after leaving her marina pen. A photo album of Jan
Williamson photos from Mercedes III will follow.
