Six 505s descended on Aeolians to sail in the 2018 Northvaal Championship in the 1st and 2nd of September 2018. Racing started early in light wind conditions and was going to be tough from the start. The fleet was closely bunched together in the light conditions and teams had their hands full with trying to keep their speed on the race course with windshifts often being in the order of 45 degrees. The Funkes managed to win the first race with Bronwen and Kobus winning the second race. After lunch the wind died and no more racing took place.

Sunday dawned with the prospect of good breeze and racing got underway at 9am sharp. 4 races were sailed with lots of action and high speed reaching. The Funkes had good speed and scored first places in the four races while the battle for second took place between Bronwen/Kobus, Megan/Warwick and Marc/Jonathan. Teams did lots of swimming and with many broken bodies, second place went to Bronwen and Kobus with Megan and Warwick in third place. 

The next event is the National Championship - 21 - 24 September at Aeolians. Great wind and sailing will take place. Be there
