The Poseidon Sailaway Club Championship concluded with a double header to round off the Spring Series on Saturday.

Race 5 started in good conditions and a steady sea state that provided a very close contest between Ann Sea and Magic as the two yachts led the fleet around the three lap course.

Ann Sea, having held off Magic throughout the race, finally surrendered the lead on the final downwind leg allowing Magic to take line honours.

Corrected times however awarded the race to Ann Sea ahead of Magic, Ice, Port FM Mais Oui and Ruff Red.

Cairns visiting yacht, Groove, joined the fleet for Race 6 and immediately set the pace leaving the locals in her wake as the experienced crew showed off their skills.

Magic, having switched head sails, put the morning's struggle with Ann Sea behind her as the fleet split considerably in the dying south easterly breeze.

Groove took line honours in 1:25:30 eight minutes ahead of Magic who in turn was ten minutes ahead of Ann Sea. With the wind falling out on the final lap for the remaining yachts Ruff Red did not finish and Ice and Port FM Mais Oui were out of contention.

Groove held on to the win on corrected time ahead of Magic second and Ann Sea third.
 
The final results of the day's racing gave back to back Spring Series wins to Ann Sea (6) ahead of Magic (7) and Ice (11) with Port FM Mais Oui (16) and Ruff Red (16) tied for fourth.
