24.01.2022 The Redcliffe Framing Rum Race utilised a short course tailored for light breezes today. With an average of 6 knots the outcome was pleasing with all boats finishing within a few minutes of each other. Tanandra sailed well making good ground on the leg to Reef Point and went on to win. Huon Star took off on the downwind leg to finish second and third place was shared between Wight Dog and Showdown. 9 boats sailed.

24.01.2022 The Redcliffe Framing Rum Race was a closely fought event with any number of boats in contention. Great weather, great course, tight finish and a well attended sausage sizzle to complete a fun afternoon. 14 boats sailed. Wight Dog just ahead of Wings with Scamp edging out Mojo to place third.

24.01.2022 Audiology Trio are our nominated sponsors for the WAGS today. It started with light breezes up to 10 knots but filled in towards the end. Didn't the multihulls love that! Here Wings is in second place chasing Trinity who was clocking 15 knots at the time. Scamp was third. 13 boats sailing.

23.01.2022 Wind Dancer came second today and provided this photo with Showdown coming third and the fleet which numbered 14 in pursuit. Only Piaf was ahead taking out first place in the WAGS. The winds were light and the course was shortened but there were plenty of races within the race to keep everyone interested.

22.01.2022 11 boats logged on for WAGS today. Rain threatened from the west and Course 9BMF was shortened slightly as the wind eased. Play On had used the stronger earlier breeze to advantage to notch up another win. Suromage came second and Piaf third.

21.01.2022 It seemed unlikely that we would have a result in the Mooloolaba Yacht Brokers WAGS today. Conditions were light but with a shortened course the 9 boats that competed all finished. Summer Breeze was first, Tanandra second and Wight Dog third.

21.01.2022 Sea Salt & Vine Cafe sponsored our SAGS today. 14 boat sailed with Tanandra first and Showdown holding out Scamp to come second. Keith from Serenity was the lucky recipient of the voucher from SS&V and gets to enjoy a lovely venue, great service and food at one of the best spots on the Redcliffe peninsula.

21.01.2022 This is the 3rd leg of the WAGS as the bulk of the fleet approach CR mark. The photo from Scamp who placed second shows Wight Dog (black sails) who challenged Scamp close to the finish in amongst the action. Play On was the first of the 15 boats sailing to finish. It doesn't get any better when all the boats that have started over a period of around 45 minutes finish together. WAGS at its best!

20.01.2022 Our Spirit of Christmas SAGS was a closely fought battle with 14 boats sailing. On the last leg up to 5 boats were in contention but it was Scamp, Showdown and Wings that crossed ahead of the pack.

20.01.2022 Conditions for our Rum Race sponsored by Redcliffe Framing were outstanding. 12 boats sailed. It was a pleasure to welcome Bewitched (pictured) and Wavesong to our event and we hope to see more of them soon. Spinifex came first, Scamp second and Showdown third.

18.01.2022 17 boats sailed in the Redcliffe Framing Rum Race today. The numbers were supported by the Careels racing in the Queensland state titles. Will and his team on Elan spent a few anxious moments looking over their shoulders as Wight Dog and Scamp threatened their grasp on first place but it was to be their day.

18.01.2022 A funny old day on the water in the Sea Salt & Vine Cafe SAGS. 14 boats sailed in very light conditions with most pulling out as the NE breeze fell away. It was a long wait but finally a light westerly of 7 knots rewarded the 6 boats that persevered. Scamp and Summer Breeze were well positioned to get maximum advantage with Scamp going on to win. Summer Breeze was third. Forte who has been helming Pali Pali was most excited to win the Sea Salt & Vine Cafe voucher in the draw. Terrific progress on the clubhouse this week!

17.01.2022 Summer Breeze joined us in the Sea Salt & Vine Cafe SAGS. With a forecast of up to 25 knots most boats reefed down. The sailing was good given that the wind was less than forecast and the course not too arduous. Play On sailed a good tactical race to win. Mojo with a very experienced crew came second and Piaf always on their game came third. 11 boats sailed. Peter from Piaf was awarded the Sea Salt & Vine Cafe voucher in the draw.

17.01.2022 3 quick races, beautiful conditions on the water.... Back to our temporary clubhouse for pies... . That was Labour Day for 13 boats and their crews. A brilliant day out with the thrill of the fleet start.

17.01.2022 The Sea Salt & Vine Cafe SAGS was held in around 15 knots with 11 boats sailing course 19BMF. Play On loved the conditions and was first. Wight Dog and Scamp played tag around the course eventually running down Piaf but not quite good enough to get past. Scamp had to settle for third. The photo captures the action approaching the finish line. Gerardine from Suromage won the SS&V voucher in the draw.

15.01.2022 We had 12 boats sail in the Sea Salt & Vine Cafe SAGS today. Conditions were good with the SE wind between 13 and 18 knots. There was a good mix in the results with Houtman first, Pali Pali second and Summer Breeze third. The fleet was quite tight at the finish as can be seen by the 8 boats running raceQs. Peter from Showdown won the Sea Salt & Vine voucher in the draw.

15.01.2022 Here is Wight Dog on the way to a win in the Sea Salt & Vine Cafe SAGS today. Huon Star performed well to take second and Wings was third. 13 boats sailed in 6-10 knots. A bit light but very pleasant. The Sea Salt & Vine Cafe voucher was won by Steve from Summer Breeze.

14.01.2022 We set this course for the WAGS as the forecast was for a drifter and we could shorten course at the second mark. The breeze kicked in to the advantage of those starting at the back. Suromage by a mile with Wight Dog second and Showdown third. 8 boats sailing.

13.01.2022 Our nominated sponsor for today is Dirty Boat Bottoms Although only 8 boats could sail, the interest was much higher with work commitments and sickness taking it's toll. Dave had kindly offered a free hull scrub to the winner and by 10 am we had 5 multis and no keelers logged on. It was looking like the guys from Dirty Boat Bottoms were going to have their work cut out! But then..... Showdown, Suromage and Serenity logged on. And.... The winner... Showdown! A great prize from a very professional organisation with proven results.

13.01.2022 The Redcliffe Framing sponsored Rum Race was well supported with 15 boats sailing in 15 to 20 knots. Piaf took out the major prize with Play On close behind and Tanandra third. The course out to Reef Point was challenging and the following two legs turned into a sprint. A well supported Sausage Sizzle rounded out the day. Another close race with Wakalina first to round RP.

12.01.2022 Marlene and Lawrie from Tanandra feature in these photos of sundowners on a sandbar off Sandstone Point Hotel on Anzac Day. In their 80's, married more than 60 years and still mixing it with the youngsters... Also, progress with the clubhouse foundation works complete.

12.01.2022 Conditions were challenging in the WAGS. 10 boats sailed our standard Port Course. Play On's protracted drought was well and truly ended with another win. Houtman has been quiet for a long time and reaped the benefit of a good breeze and start time to take second. Relative newcomer Sanaju placed third. Fortunately we had all finished when the wind really picked up.

10.01.2022 14 boats sailed in the WAGS with Wings loving the conditions. Andy and Jane seen enjoying a coffee as they passed Scamp on their way to a win. Showdown was third.

10.01.2022 Another good day on the water in the WAGS. Tanandra first with Wight Dog taking second place ahead of Trinity. Wings and Piaf were not far behind. 13 boats sailing Course 9.

03.01.2022 Spinifex won the Sea Salt & Vine Cafe SAGS today ahead of Suromage and Piaf. 10 boats sailed course 19 in up to 20 knots. John from Mojo won the voucher. The photo of Spinifex was taken in better conditions than today....
