Mornington put on light winds, a fantastic race management crew and an amazing group of volunteers for a very successful regatta. Some of the days were smoky and the racing was tight & competitive. We had competitors from New Zealand & Japan and around Australia.
The NSW boys Daniel and Jack took out the Australian Title followed closely behind in 2nd place by Mornington sailors James Jackson & Lachlan Caldwell. Chloe Harper (MYC) and her skipper Anna Crispy took out the female Australian Title. MYC sailors Will McKenzie & Harrison Chapman had a great regatta coming in at 11th, Sophie McKenzie & Claudia McMahon -21st, Kate James & Brooke Hutchison - 24th, Sassy Taylor & Arabella Henderson- 27th and Jay James & Digby Taylor -29th. With two heats to go the third placed boat could not catch second so it was a race for first and second.
The feedback about the regatta was very positive, with national & international competitors commenting on how welcome they felt at MYC, how well the Regatta was run and what a beautiful location we have. A special thank you to Jacqui Crawford for coming from the fires in Gippsland to be our chief race officer and to our jurors from TAS, Geelong & New Caledonia. Thank you very much to Ashley Dugan and Peter & Kim Karay for making the jurors so welcome in their homes at this busy time. Our fantastic partner and tenant The Rocks did a fantastic job of both opening and closing dinners.
Our race management crew worked tirelessly on water day after day. A huge thanks to Steve Bolton, Jo & Cam McKenzie, Tania Lawson, Gary Woods, Tony Hutchison, Greg Martin, Bill Bennett, Trevor Neate Tim Donaldson, Brett & Kelly James, John Taylor, Anna Kliss, Chris Harper & Peter Danks (DBYC) and Suki & Andrew Scade.
As always, the Mornington volunteers did a brilliant job working together and raised funds for MYC in the process. Pam Lane worked tirelessly day after day cooking on the BBQ & purchasing supplies.
