Next Nartanda's motor broke with a small spring breaking on the emergency button and required a tow which was quite a challenge for the Portarlington patrol crew. It was successfully tow in extreme conditions and the occolades must be given to this Portarlington crew. Somerlead motor also got washed off the boat as it crossed the entrance sand bar but the motor was saved by the backup rope. The boat was sweeped on to the sandy shore without damage. Sunday was not without drama either as both Nartanda and Juniper broke their mainsail pulleys most probably caused by the Saturday storm. The Regatta was run with great efficiency but it was disappointing the participation.
