A-Class Aus Nats 2012: Ashby Nr 1 “on toughest fleet Ever”
Full report at www.a-cat.org.au
Glenn Ashby comments: ‘Every National win is important but this field, with so much depth of talent and competition, is definitely the strongest fleet I have ever sailed against in the A-Cats at ANY level.”
Just looking at the level of the top ten you can agree with Glenn on the level of the Australian A-Class fleet.
Slingby ending with a bullet, Spithill 5th are a good benchmark on their level racing agasint the usual suspects on the top. Darren finally 4th.
The dnas run the show this time with a top 5, Landy and Brad with the Scheurers were 10th and 12th.
Don´t know which boat Anderson used, but on another excellent performance ended 6th.
