Record Fleet for the Series WW Summer Series 2015-16 Race 15 (20 Jan 2016) Record Fleet For The Series WW Summer Series 2015-16 Race 15 (20 Jan 2016) What was a dull and rainy morning became a fine and sunny afternoon with a steady south south easterly breeze of about 15 knots – ideal for sailing. This was enough to encourage a record 42 yachts, including 4 visitors, to contest race 15 around the 6 leg 9.8 nautical mile course 61. Of the 9.8 nautical miles approximately half are to windward with the other half down wind.

It was one of the later starters, the Beneteau 45 CONQUEST (Paul Jacka) who won Start of the Day with a time of 2 seconds. The long beat on the second leg from number 7 to 5 offered an option of tacking early and staying closer to shore or going further offshore before tacking. It was difficult to decide which option would be the best. Staying inshore could offer flatter seas whilst there could be stronger winds offshore. With either option there were plenty of opportunities to find “clear air”. The fleet started 54 minutes 46 seconds apart but by the first rounding of number 4 this gap had been reduced to 20 minutes and 22 seconds. It took 9 minutes 41 seconds for the first 10 yachts to round number 4 but only 10 minutes 41 seconds for the remaining 31 yachts (TRUE COLOURS retired) to complete the first triangle. By the end of the race the fleet had sailed further apart with 32 minutes 56 seconds between the first and last yacht to cross the finish line. However, 25 yachts finished within 10 minutes of the winner. In her first race of the series it was the Bavaria 37 Cruiser CARRERA (Geoffrey Simpson) who was first across the finish line. CARRERA had started from 4th place 33 seconds late for a 20 minute handicap. She sailed the first 3 legs of the course in 1:15:06 she rounded number 4 in 2nd place – 3 minutes 13 seconds behind the leader PIPPA (Jeffrey Woolhouse). By the time CARRERA crossed the finish line at 15:47:49 she had been sailing for 1:57:49 the 28th fastest elapsed time. CARRERA became the 12th race winner of the series. She is not part of the aggregate and sailed the race as a visitor In 2nd place and finishing 13 seconds behind the winner was the S&S39 MAGIC (Phil Spry Bailey). MAGIC has sailed all 14 races this series after sailing all 23 races in the winter series. Her previous podium finish was in race 16 of the winter series. MAGIC started from 11th place, 21 seconds late for a 28 minute start. By the first rounding of number 4 she had improved her position to be in 6th place. MAGIC sailed the entire course in 1:50:02 and crossed the finish line at 15:48:02. This podium finish helped lift MAGIC 2 places in the aggregate from 8th to 6th with a total of 48 points. The Hanse 40 BABYDOLL (Brendan Kruger) has completed 10 races this series for a total of 4 top ten finishes which includes 2 podium finishes. She started this race from 25th place only 10 seconds late for a 37 minute handicap. BABYDOLL sailed the first three legs of the course well enough to be in 9th place at the first rounding of number 4. She sailed the course in 1:43:29 to cross the finish line at 15:50:29. Following this 3rd place BABYDOLL moved up 5 places in the aggregate to be in 8th position. As mentioned earlier Start of the Day was won by CONQUEST with a time of 2 seconds. This is the first time she has won the start bringing the number of Start of the Day winners to 17 which includes three ties. The median start time was 18 seconds almost 2 second over the average for the series.

  • George Town Municipality
    Local climate profile George Town Municipality Past and current climate: The George Town municipality has a temperate maritime climate with a moderate temperature range (at Low Head, average daily maximum temperature is 21 °C in February, 12.5 °C in July). Average annual rainfall is less than 800 mm per year with a distinct seasonal cycle. For example, Low Head receives 668 mm per year (27 mm in February and 82 mm in August). Rainfall in the George Town area can come from the regular westerly frontal rain systems that cross Tasmania, however an important fraction of the rainfall comes from episodic systems from the north and east, including cutoff lows. Year-to-year rainfall variability is partly correlated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation in autumn, winter and spring (where El Niño winters are generally drier than average, La Niña winters are generally wetter than average). There is also some correlation with the Indian Ocean Dipole in winter and spring, and with atmospheric blocking especially in summer. Average temperatures have risen in the decades since the 1950s, at a rate similar to the rest of Tasmania (up to 0.15 °C per decade). Daily minimum temperatures have risen slightly more than daily maximum temperatures. There has been a decline in average rainfall and a lack of very wet years in the George Town municipality since the mid 1970s, and this decline has been strongest in autumn. This decline was exacerbated by the ‘big dry’ drought of 1995-2009. Rainfall in the recent period since the end of the drought has been average or above average.
