A-Class Australian Nats: Day 1
Photo by Humpybong Commodore Matthew Johnson, Training Race
Bundock and Landenberger on a good start. Dean Barker? well a 6th and a 4th, sadly Spithill wasn´t able to race. Ashby went overboard and Brewin had a BFD, some courtesy handicap for the rest by these two top A sailors. This is an A-Class Worlds type championship, remember Australia dominated at Cesenatico.

Report Race 1 and 2 by Bob Griffits at DNA Website: dnacat.blogspot.com
Twitter by Darren Bundock, he is tied in 1st place right now with Landy, but he will be “Ok” after dialing downwind…. : “Just saw the notice board and Steve Brewin BFD in race 2 so moved to 2nd in race 2 & equal 1st overall.”
“First 2 races completed in a nice 12-15knt ESE breeze. I just need to learn how to sail this thing down wind & I will go ok.”

I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
