VA12SC hosts Flying Eleven State Championships
David McKelvey
It was a big 2 days of sailing at the VA12SC this past weekend, with the club hosting the first round of the Flying 11 State Championships. Racing was held over both Saturday and Sunday, and it was fantastic to see over 35 Flying 11s sailing on our part of the harbour.
With competitors coming from Middle Harbour, Manly, Gosford and Belmont, the standard was high and competition was tight. Winds were gusty from the south, providing exciting rides for our sailors and visiting boats.
All VA12SC sailors performed well, with Max and Zac in the top 10 on Saturday, and Sophia Ugarte, and Hugo Minnett, having a great race on the Sunday in tough conditions, both crews not far off the lead boats. Full results can be found here
Well done to our sailors and all involved. These events require a lot of work to organise and run, so thanks to everyone for the big effort.
Our Flying 11 fleet will be heading to the Belmont 16s sailing club on Lake Macquarie in late February for round two. Good luck team VA12SC!
