The Vic States are all over for another year.
Congratulations to the winners of the three divisions, 1 Production and 2 Performance divisions.
Day 1 we faced light winds and frustrations as some of the guys were wondering why they were there. There were a handful of guys who did make the most of the light winds, the outstanding performer was Graham Oliver (MBC) who showed everyone how it was done in the light stuff. Ben Lazzar, Mike Dale and John Nettlebeck were there as well tussling for positions.
Day 2 we had a light breeze in the morning, but at least it was more consistent. After a few races the breeze was increasing and the smiles were showing everywhere. The 4mt sails come out, and some of the lighter guys opted for 3mt sails. The racing was fast paced and we saw some of the guys who struggled on day 1 come through to the front of the field.
Speeds of 65+ kph was recoded, spin outs and stacks happening everywhere.
The NEWC guys were fantastic, really well organised and the entertainment was brilliant.
Thanks to the ladies and gents at the North East Windsport Club for again hosting the 2013 Victorian Championships.
Regards
Tim
