A great last day for the Regatta, with two boats tied on equal points, but it was Grant Alderson and Dean McAullay in 3833 who came up trumps.
After a poor start, they managed to get into fourth place to clinch the title. They had to beat **** Barry Parkin to win, and they did it by one place. A tremendous results for the West Australians, backing up their National Title from last week.
Well done to the locals, and congratulations to all who competed who made this a great event.
After a close run last race described by Maf as “nervy” the Team GB Classic crew of Andy McKee and Maf Smith sailing 2532 Feel Flows won the last race to take the Classic World Title. A quick read of Maf and Andy’s blog will show that it was a shifty dieing breeze and quite a close last race but needing to come no worse than third to take the title they managed to prevail and win the race.
