The Geelong Trailable Yacht Club

16. 11.

10 boats faced the starter in the 2009 Cluster Cup last Saturday 14th November. In perfect sailing conditions Beaujolais won the start and sailed well to win the race. The wind was a steady 15 knots from the south-east for the first hour of the race as Beaujolais led the fleet through the North Channel but as the race progressed the wind dropped. The fleet divided into two, one group of boats around the .7 handicap, the .65 group of Boomerangs in the other, as they worked their way to the mark off Drysdale (near the old Cluster mark!)

The fleet spread out further as the wind dropped further, with Bruce Ewen in new Sonata 6.7 Mod, 5 o’Clock Somewhere powered through for line honours.

OODs were Rob Ballard and Peter Jones.

Results:

1. Cluster Cup winner, Beaujolais, Chris Hancock
2. Dream On, Glenn Kewish
3. Vintage Red, John Mole
