This weeks Backwater Bay Yacht Club Cat Fight featured a nice fleet turnout and smooth sailing weather. The fleets for both races were eight boats strong and comprised of The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows. Plus, the regions in Bingo Strait behaved as only two of the three DNFs (Did Not Finish) on the day were due to crashes (the third was the cause of a sim corner). We also saw some new faces as Raven started her first ever race and Zepp raced in his first race with us.
