Australian A Class Nationals (Final)

Well the Australian A Class Nationals have been sailed and won by Glenn Ashby in commanding style. Ashby's boat handling and balls of steel sailing style gave him the win with a race to spare.
The runners up were Outteridge, Brewin & Bundock in that order.

Steven Brayshaw 8th overall

The last race was sailed in a nice 10-14kt NE sea breeze where Bundock sailed a perfect race to take the last win followed by Landenberger then Outteridge.

As for team Harken results Steve Brewin finished in 3rd followed by Jimmy Spithill 5th, Steven Brayshaw 8th, Jack Benson 14th & myself in 21st out of a world class field of 70 boats.

Grant Pellew 21st Overall

The Wangi Club lead by PRO Tony Outteridge did a fantastic job running the event, a big thank you goes out to the Trolley Dolly girls that got us all in and off the water safely.

Normally you would be happy for a regatta to end so you can get a rest but this one was so good that I'm a little sad that it has finished, I cannot wait till the next one.
