25th July - Race 5
On this day two short races were held; the first is quite reasonable winds led to some VERY close-water competition, whilst the second turned into a bit of a drifter - see photos at: http://picasaweb.google.com/BroomeWaters/2010_0725BSCRace5#
17th July - Hampton Harbour Regatta
BSC members Jenifer John, Sarah Liddiard and Miranda Dibdin travelled to Dampier for the Hampton Harbour Boat & Sailing Club annual regatta at the weekend. They received a warm welcome from club members and met competitors from sailing clubs such as Carnarvon & Port Hedland. The weekend brought variable sailing conditions from light to moderate for all the 5 races despite a previous forecast of strong winds 25-30 knots which would have kept Hobie 16 Broome Time sitting on the beach. Sailing solo on the home clubs slowly sinking Windrush 14 saw Sarah Liddiard through pure determination bring home 3rd place on handicap. BSC Hobie 16 Broome Time skippered by Miranda Dibdin & crewed by Jenifer John gained a 3rd place on handicap. Photos at:http://picasaweb.google.com.au/BroomeWaters/2010_0717HamptonHarbourRegatta# .

23rd May - Race 2
A welcome to new member, John, in his "Impulse" which arrived just a few days prior to the race! It was a grand afternoon on the ocean for the six boats that competed, and a fine chance to try out the club's new racing marks. However, light'ish winds and a short, sharp, chop resulted in this event being shortened from the planned course. Brett (Rattle & Hum) got line honours, but the official results will be available shortly. Photos of this event can be viewed at: http://picasaweb.google.com/BroomeWaters/2010_0523BSCRace2#
