The North Queensland Zone Mission Beach Regatta was conducted at South Mission Beach on the weekend of 16th and 17th of September.
The conditions were challenging with a persistent strong wind and choppy seas.
The Outrigger Whitsunday team performed extremely well.
In the Ocean Canoe One or OC1 races, Maree Mullett, Tim Dodds, Stephen Lynes, and Rob O’Connor won their respective divisions with Rob backing up his 4klms win with another in the 14klms race.
In the OC2 class Kim Dodds, Maree Mullett, Stephen Lynes, and Tim Dodds all received placings in their respective divisions.
In the OC6 class, the women’s team outperformed their male counterparts by taking out third place in the 9.5klm race and backed up this performance with a first in the 14klms race on Sunday.
Congratulations to the entire team and a special thanks to Michelle Lynes and Glen Bray who safely steered the OC6s in challenging conditions.
Our team included a mix of experienced and relatively new paddlers and all benefited from the experience.
Contributed with thanks to Paul Tobias.
