Talking of La Rochelle and the Europeans

A great time was had by all (I think) superb afternoon thermal winds giving exciting racing for all in an interesting atlantic swell/ chop.

A big thanks to all the organisers, JFD  and FR especially of the Fench Association for putting a lot of time in and making it happen and an enormous thanks to Ron Duffield for coming over and measuring us all.

Thanks also to the team at SRR for running the event and of course thanks to all 92 competitors for making it the sailing event it was and of course the people who came 5th and got the special privilege of writing a report too, now there's something to aspire to!

Overall results were Andrea Bonezzi 1st, BB Johsen 2nd, Simon Mussell 3rd, Soren Andreasen 4th, Jan Von der Bank 5th.

2010 Victorian Contender Championships
jono-neateLast weekend the titles were held at Mornington Yacht Club, 10 Contenders fought it out in light winds under clear skys. Jono was the clear winner with 4 bullets followed by Dan Kohlman in 2nd and David Leask (NSW) took 3rd place while Jon Newman took out 4th place. 

Special thanks to Wichard who donated Wichard Multitools for trophies and Mornington YC who were able to fit us in at late notice. The race officer did a fantastic job of running the event, and managed to hold 4 races, 1 on Saturday and 3 on the Sunday morning.

Matt Kee rocked up with Hosie's old boat. Andrew Butler came over from Geelong sailing Dubbo's old boat and Pat Moore a young fella from Somers SC attended his first states in Chris Chambers old boat. The NSW guys, Brett, David and Peter Murphy made the trip down from NSW although on the water Brett and David were rarely separated by more than a boat length, makes you wonder why they travelled a thousand km to sail against one another?

The 2012 Nationals will be held in Victoria, at this stage Mc Crae Yacht Club,  Somers Yacht Club and Geelong have been put forward as a possible venues.
