OVID may have robbed us of a sailing season closing day, but thankfully it didn’t stop us from conducting a full program of State Championship races this season. The Association enjoyed another close competition with hosting of the six heats being shared by four of the most prominent clubs on the river. In both the Championship and Consistency competitions, the final places were only determined after the last heat.
The State competition was well supported with the average racing fleet being 11 boats and the biggest 13 from a total of 14 registered for competiton. The Championship placings were: First Abeelas [SP 20] skippered by Brian Saleeba Second Karina [SP 191] skippered by Paul Rees Third Vision [SP 292] skippered by Tim Harrison
The Saturday afternoon consistency results saw Abeelas [SP 20] skippered by Brian Saleeba, take first place, followed by Mark Popham’s Force Five [SP21], with Random Times [SP 163] skippered by David Hanham taking third place by count back from Karina [SP 191] Congratulations everyone. And remember, the best way to avoid winter rust is to keep things moving via the Wednesday afternoon and Frost bite series.
