(Sydney, Australia)- The Australian Sports Boat Association recently
hosted their Nationals in Sydney. For the growing local fleet of J/70s,
it was one of their first opportunities to get everyone together and
have a rockin’ great time sailing around the cans and test out their
newfound steeds.The six boat fleet had a bit of a “schooling” by local hotshot Ray Entwistle aboard the mighty JEDI. After collecting a number of firsts, they took the top spot on the podium with 9 pts net. However, the balance of the teams were learning quickly. Most notably, Ray Carless on JUNIOR not only notched a win but managed to snag a number of seconds to take second overall for the regatta. Third was Stephen Brady sailing Y-KNOT.
Next week we anticipate a full-on report from some of the participants in the regatta. Stay tuned! Sailing photo credits- SportSailing.com For more ASBA Nationals sailing information
