By Tessa Lancaster. Filed in Race reports |
22 Fifteens participated in this year’s Fed week. It was great racing in 10-20 knot winds all week with excellent harbour courses set by race officer FFI Commodore Greg Wells.
Andrew Jameson and Richard Kent won both Monday and Tuesday races. Ian Nicholson and son James won Wednesday’s race in their new boat. Thursday’s race was won by Russell Peters and Zeb Elliott. By Friday, the overall winner was still undecided. Alan Bax crewed by Tim Rumfitt joined the fleet for the day and won the final race. Andrew Jameson and Richard Kent came 3rd which made them overall winners for the week by .25 points ahead of Russell and Zeb.
With good racing and social events, all agreed that it had been one of the best Fed weeks of recent years.
