Nacra 17 @Sail Sydney2018: Waterhouse & Darmanin 1st
Above video highltights from day 3. Jason Waterhouse & Lisa Darmanin (aka “Moana & Maui”) are leading after 12 races over Gemma Jones & Jason Saunders and Paul Darmanin & Lucy Copeland.
A-Cat ace Steve Brewin started racing Nacra 17 this year and continues to participate, he is sailing with Karma Randall.
Top Australian crew missing in this event are Nathan & Haylee Outteridge, we assume on Nathan’s SailGP Team Japan schedule. We hope they can continue sailing together towards the Australian qualy for Tokyo 2020 as they had a awesome debut in the Nacra 17 Class grabbing second place (and the Tokyo slot for Australia) at this year Worlds held back in August.
