The South Islands were at Charteris Bay  on 21/22 November and attracted sailors from Te Anau, Dunedin, Timaru, Nelson, Queen Charlotte and Christchurch.

There were 11 Radials and 2 Full Rigs with a good range of Masters, Open, Youth, and Women sailors.

Saturday was a nice NE wind building through the day starting at 10-15 knots and ending at 20-23 knots.
Peter Graham from Dunedin dominated the Radials with 1,1,1 score with Hamish on 2,2,2 and Neil Morris a GM also from Dunedin on 3,3,3.
In the Full Rigs Chris Shannon showed his class with a 1,1,1 and Daryl Parkes 2,2,2.
Ibobrufen and Panadol and a hot spa were definitely required on Saturday night by some Masters sailors! (Hamish).

Sunday saw a honking SW in the Bay which gradually reduced over the day and actually went around 180 degrees to the NE again by the end of Race 6.

Notably the Radials had a different winner in each race, which was nice to see. Daryl Parkes had good speed and won a couple of races from Chris in the Full Rigs, well done.

Overall Radials:
