Indigo, the only catamaran racing at the club, joined the Poseidon Sailaway Club Championship Summer Series for Race 4 adding to the fleet numbers.

Although being late to the start having assisted late withdrawal Big Ears did not help her chances. Big Ears retired before the start having suffered damage to her mainsail.

As racing got underway Indigo had boosted her crew numbers but faced a difficult task to match the blistering speed of the three front runners, Ann Sea, Magic and Tau Ceti.
 
Ann Sea led from start to finish in the 15 to 20 knot south easterly breeze with a reasonable swell that suited the Hanse powering along under full main.

Tau Ceti, also under full main, although 14 minutes behind managed to claim first place over Ann Sea by just 40 seconds on corrected time. Ice claimed third ahead of Magic and Indigo.

Race 5 started with Ruff Red joining the fleet for another three laps of the windward leeward course and again it was Ann Sea showing the way.

Magic and Ice, having made some sail changes since the morning race, tried in vain along with Tau Ceti, Indigo and Ruff Red to keep up but none could match the power of Ann Sea.

Having completed the course in just 54 minutes Ann Sea took line honours and handicap win ahead of Tau Ceti second and Magic third followed by Ice, Indigo and Ruff Red.

The win creates a tie for first spot on the ladder between Ann Sea (15) and Magic (15) with the tie broken in favour of Ann Sea. Tau Ceti (16) is just one off the pace with Ice (24), Big Ears (35), Miriama (38), Ruff Red (39), Indigo (40) and Sea Wizard (41).
