RANSA Winter Race 1 & ASCC Race 5
Sunday 6th May 2007 - ASCC Race 5, Crew Captain Tony, First Mate Scott, Winch Wench Kyles McGyles, Winch Wench Ant, Ballast Bitch Glen, Bowboy Ben. Was a bit more win
d for this race and with Captain Tony at the helm it was sure to be an interesting race. The Audi series was on and the harbour was packed with big spinnaker flying yachts, "holy shit" thought Captain Tony, but with the support of a damn good crew we successfully navigated through these fleets. The race was long with the wind between 10 - 15 knots, we had plenty of time to drink a carton of beer, and some bourbon and wine, while consuming Kyles McGyles crew cup cakes, and Bow Boy Bens crew Ham cheese and pickle sandwiches. 
Well done crew. Captain Tony is coming out of the sailing closet. We came second accross the line out of 3 starters, but on handicap we may win - we await the results.

Saturday 5th May 2007 - RANSA Race 1, Crew Scott, Tony, Jo and Ben. After a very slow race start (29 minutes to cross the start line) the crew had had lunch and a few drinks before we crossed the start line.
Once we crossed the line the wind gradually picked up and the Frog leapt up the harbour to East Channel, were we turned the mark and our spinnaker went up, Jo and Tony gracefully raised the spinnaker with only minor hiccups and the Scott and Ben controlled the flying kiwi from the cockpit. We had a fun time flying the spinnaker, although lost ground while experimenting and learning.
The crew worked it hard down the harbour, we even raised a sweat. The Frog kept up with the fleet despite light winds and the slow start. Leap Frog scores 12th Place from 16 starters.
Well done Leap Frog crew
