Combined Clubs Summer Pennant Series - Race 8 by Jane Austin 28 Feb 05:07 UTC 27 February 2021 The Division One fleet hits the start line in Race 8 of the Combined Clubs Summer Pennant Series © Colleen Darcey There s not much that Tasmanian sailing legend Don Calvert doesn t know about sailing on the River Derwent in Hobart, and the proof was in the pudding yesterday with the skipper sailing his Castro 40, Intrigue, to victory on IRC and AMS handicaps, and taking out third place on performance in Division One of the Combined Clubs Summer Pennant Series. Ross Mannering, bowman on Intrigue and Vice Commodore of the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, said that the breeze was a bit up and down, but they had a great day on the water. After a general recall, Intrigue headed east off the start line which paid off for the team.

Banjo s Shoreline Crown Series Bellerive Regatta 2021

Banjo s Shoreline Crown Series Bellerive Regatta 2021 - Overall by Jane Austin 14 Feb 11:20 UTC 12-14 February 2021 Summer sailing was at its glorious best in Hobart for the final day of sailing in the Banjos Shoreline Crown Series Bellerive Regatta.

Shield moved the race course up the river and set a new start line off the Casino. This proved an excellent move allowing the fleet two get two quick races in as a consistent sea-breeze filled in.

Launceston to Hobart: Sandy McManus and the Twitch syndicate

Twitch on the River Derwent sailing in the BYC Crown Series Regatta © Jane Austin Sandy McManus started sailing an NS14 with a neighbour as a 12-year-old from the Lauderdale Yacht Club. Wind the clock forward to 2020 and McManus is lining up for her fourth Launceston to Hobart Yacht Race on Twitch. So, what drives this calm and quiet achiever and how does she rate her team s chances in the upcoming Launceston to Hobart Race? McManus moved from the NS14 into a 13-foot Hawke catamaran in her youth, but it was some years later before she set foot on a bigger keelboat, crewing for Ian Johnston on his Doven 30, and she has never looked back. The modest, Hobart-based sailor considers herself a relatively inexperienced offshore competitor compared to her crew mates on Twitch, and while she may not have a lot of offshore races under her belt, she is certainly building her blue water miles.
