J/92 Wins Australian Equinox/ Solstice Series

(Sydney, Australia)- The Australian sailing season is off to a gang-busters start for J's sailing Down Under.  The Sydney-based J/92 SELKIE skippered and owned by Chris Antico, Tony Booth and Evan Lewis   begins the Australian spring racing calendar on a high after a successful winter series. Racing out of Royal Australian Naval Sailing Association based on Sydney Harbour, the J/92 SELKIE won both the Equinox & Solstice series cementing the overall point score win.

The racing was held over varied wind conditions from 3 to 30 knots and comprised of 16 to 18 competitive boats in each fleet.  Chris commented, "We had the rig refined and some new sails from Ian Short who is becoming somewhat of a local guru on J boat rigs and never looked back.  We are on form and looking forward to the new season including Royal Prince Edward summer series,  Monday twilights and  some of the offshore SOPS series."  For more Australian sailing info.
