Vaucluse Sailors Head North for Round Two of the States!
Adele Phillips
Three of our Vaucluse sailors recently made the journey up to the North Coast for the second round of the state Sabot championships. You’d think sailing on a calm lake would be peaceful — but Mother Nature had other plans!
Sol Golovsky showed grit and determination on day two, finishing mid-fleet with solid results in the 20-24 range out of 40 boats. Jones Baker had a tough time battling the challenging 20-knot breeze, while Talia Golovsky managed to complete just one of the three races in the challenging conditions.
Despite the wind and waves, it was a fun and rewarding experience for all involved. This wraps up the Sabot away program for the year, but if you're keen to jump into a Sabot and give it a go, chat with Emma Badger, Sol Golovsky, Jones Baker or Talia Golovsky about their experiences.
Our new Head Coach, Makenzie, is also a former Sabot superstar, following in the footsteps of Adele, our outgoing Head Coach and another Sabot legend.
Looking ahead, we’re gearing up to grow a strong Sabot fleet in 2025/26, with three sailors already locked in for the Airlie Beach Nationals at Christmas 2025.
