Balancing Act Sailing

Sunday after leaving Mackay, a 8 hr run to Double Island to anchor. Monday a 22 hr run to Keppel Bay. An easy run with winds behind us. Now leaving Keppel Bay for Gladstone

Leaving Mackay at the start of the delivery south. Unfortunately mast damage in the race up resulted in us withdrawing from the Hamilton Island race week.

A few shots for the Gold Coast to Mackay race.

Gold Coast to Mackay race completed. We pushed the boat hard, maybe a little too hard this time. She has never gone so fast and for so long. A few breakages this race but still excellent results. Thanks crew.

Race crew before we climbed into wet weather gear

The boats ready for tomorrow’s Gold Coast to Mackay ocean race.

An exhausting but enjoyable Brisbane to Bundaberg race. Light winds challenged all crews. Balancing Act came in second overall. As the only Double handed entry we were wrapped with the results.

Brisbane to Bundaberg race today. Brad and I are doing the race two handed

Annual Slipping for Balancing Act completed. Ready for next week's Brisbane to Bundaberg race.

A busy weekend for Balancing Act. Taking the boat to Southport for the Flat Rock Ocean race. A small number of entries. Conditions were fine at the start with 15-20 knots downhill. The breeze built as we had a four-hour run to Flat Rock. At Flat Rock the swell was awful with 25 knots breeze a long 8 hour slog back, the final hour or so with a dying breeze. A wide range of conditions for crew experience and an enjoyable race as we had a race long tussle with Alpha Tauri and Yachtshare Ignition Racing Team
