Nic Douglass on Thurlow Fisher's win in the JJ Giltinan 18ft Skiffs

by Nic Douglass on 5 Mar 2017 A big thanks to the Australian 18 Footers for having me for the past two afternoons to cover the closing days of the JJ's not only to catch up with so many great sailors (which I do really love!), but to take in the great action that always is the 18's.

After five years covering this event, it was fantastic to be on the water to see the boys from Thurlow Fisher Lawyers, Michael Coxon, Dave O'Connor and Trent Barnabas take it home. Plenty of banter, and racing chat with the guys, who are complete gentleman and great sailors on top of that.



Michael Fisher, from Thurlow Fisher joined in at the end of the chat to congratulate his team, and I took the opportunity to thank him personally for also supporting a youth team this year.

Cocko also spoke to me about the much discussed protest(s) during the week to fill in all of those at home who are interested to find out the ins and outs of that particular situation.
