Quarterback 1 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Just back from the legends of J24's regatta which included the NSW class championships at Gosford Sydney 27 yacht's 8 windward/l races very close racing, traffic jams at the top mark, 2 mins over the fleet at the finish. After this series for the state championship, two more races were sailed on Monday 4th with 17 legends skippers, (legends of the class, past Presidents and class champions) including Mark Bethwaite, Rob Mundle, Ian MacDiarmid, Gary Geitz, David Suda, Sean Wallis, Sean Kirkjian, Hugo Ottoway, Greg Hyde, Steve Girdis, Murray Walters, Andrew Hunn, Kanga Bertles, Rob Brewer, Bob Hagen and many others. I was sailing with Al Morrison a ex president who now lives and sails in Nelson, but has a boat stored in Sydney our overall place was 14th /27 so mid fleet but did hook into a 3rd & 8th. Ex Aucklander now Melbourne sailor Simon Grain won the Andrew Short Memorial trophy in race 1 of the legend's day on Monday (a Past class Pres.) and the second legends race was won by Nev Wittey for the Ian Bashford Memorial trophy. If the 30 yrs reunion regatta for 1/4 ton in Auckland is anywhere like this past weekend then we are in for a great series Link to post Share on other sites
