The Pantaenius Port Stephens Trophy, the second half of Sail Port Stephens will kick off today with a fleet of 130 boats in a westerly breeze starting at 15 knots, set to ease all day.
The majority of the fleet is heading offshore, with the Flagstaff Performance Cruising and Racing divisions starting off Nelson Bay breakwall at midday for Course 4A and 4B. They ll swing around the islands, dip into Fingal Bay then head for home. The IRC and Performance Racing fleets will do windward leewards north of Cabbage Tree Island and inshore, the Sports Boat NSW Championship, and Performance Racing Division 2 will be racing in Salamander Bay, with a fleet of 50-odd off-the-beach Finns, Sabots and Windsurfers joining in from tomorrow. ....

Sunny with winds 15 to 25 km/h becoming light in the late afternoon was how the official forecasters optimistically described today s weather for Sail Port Stephens. At least they were right about the sunshine.
The breeze built to a fresh 20+ knots, with more than a sniff of southerly, and it blew away the chances of some of the fancied frontrunners in the Bannisters Port Stephens Commodores Cup fleet, along with an overnight adjustment of PHS handicaps.
Of course, it also brought other boats roaring back into contention.
Today s inshore race favoured yachts with longer waterlines and the flexibility to power and de-power as required, with no better example than Little Nico. To its hat-trick of line-honours wins, the Shaw 11 added an overall handicap victory in Division 1. ....

It was a day to clear the rust, but also to show some trust, as Sail Port Stephens turned on a spectacular opening day for the Bannisters Port Stephens Commodores Cup 2021.
Racing on the icon Pub-to-Pub course began in light nor westerlies, allowing an easy run to Shoal Bay, however a mid-race shift to a nor east seabreeze brought the backmarkers right back into contention as they rode the new wind line.
It compressed the fleet of 105 starters, making mark roundings action-packed - especially in the bay overlooked by series sponsor Bannister Port Stephens Resort. ....
