Congratulation to all the Australian Olympic Sailing team for their great efforts and successes at Weymouth,  including  Gold medal winners Tom Slingsby (at last!) in the Mens Lasers, Nathan Outteridge & Iain Jenson in the 49er (after a Silver last time), Mathew Belcher & Malcolm Page in the Mens 470 (again!) and Silver for the Women’s Elliott 6 Match Racing team of Olivia Price, Nina Curtis & Lucinda Whitty (pity about that big roundup in the third race!), and not to forget hometown favorite, former ESC Sabot and World Laser Radial Champion Krystal Weir (pictured) who competed in the Ladies Laser Radials and all the other Australian competitors & officials.

With Elwood being blown flat with an off shore ESE the twilight series was moved to Ricketts point, results as follows

3 points Ricketts Point – in the battle of man vs Ricketts Point, Ricketts Point will always win with its bone crunching short chop, and fin shaving exposed reef.

2 points Randall – for his multi tasking skills, turn up rig (still think you went too small with the sail size..) do a work phone conference and then sail.

1 point Ben – for driving around for 2 days with kit in the car waiting for a ESE blast.
