Over the weekend the Seawind & Corsair Pittwater Regatta was held north of Sydney with challenging conditions brought on by La Nina.
Huge congrats to the success of annual Seawind & Corsair Pittwater Regatta 2022 which there’s no better way to start your racing season in the Australia than with the Corsair & Seawind Regatta.
Below is a tribute to the owners who joined in on the event.
An Ode to the Seawind Pittwater Regatta 2022
The week began like any other
But a forecast to make you shudder
A beat up north to the regatta
Against the desire of the rudder
Our foe La Nina was visiting
With Pittwater in its sights
And before the weekend was over
A southerly buster to cause you fright
But a few fearless sailors showed
To out do each other
Racing their Seawind catamarans
Teeth bared, but with friendly banter
As the rain drizzled down and the skies greyed
‘Moonglider’ advanced in light breeze
Then rounded the top mark in first place
And removed it with great ease
A cunning move to throw the fleet
Or so they all first thought
Until ‘Maree’ cut the corner
One more place that they caught
‘Lion’s Den’ arrived just in time
To be late for the first race
So they enjoyed an ale or two
And kept a questionable pace
‘Pirate King’ lived up to its name
A Motley Crew that bunch
Seemed to find their pace quite late
Or was it that long lunch
It’s no surprise the ‘Regatta’ excelled
With the others in their wake
It took less time for the rum to show
With a grin you just can’t fake
Rafting up to ‘Catty Shack’
For a three-course potluck dinner
Civilised, delicious and sophisticated
Until someone said ‘Tequila’!
Then dancing started onboard
The committee boat called ‘Noma’
To the Stones, Fleetwood Mac and Springsteen,
Until they finished in a coma
It was little surprise that very next day
When deep in contemplation
Pirate Pete woke to an empty bay
Ironically onboard the late ‘Reflections’
‘Renaissance’ showed us how it’s done
Local knowledge of the season
While others unmentioned nearly collide
Without wind, rhyme or reason
So against all odds, we rose above
While others stayed home tortured
Cause you can’t beat a laugh with mates
On a good boat on the water
