The October sail day was excellent with regards to sailing conditions at Albert Park Lake. Very little breeze, fairly calm waters, and with very few weeds. It was however very cloudy and didn't present the best photographic conditions.
There was a great turnout with most of the FBV guys in attendance. Two new additions to the FBV fleet made their appearance - HMNZS Canterbury and HMS Active with captain Gary Reid in command.
It was a very pleasant day's sailing.
There were two videos produced from the day. There were less photos taken on the day due to the time spent on capturing the videos.
The links are as below.

Looks like a great day.
Loved the compilation video guys, the tug cam with the Type 21 and KGV is brilliant.
Cheers
Robert
