Aussie I14 Nationals report and images

by Kate Cooper/I14 website on 3 Jan 2008
NSW is hosting the 2007-2008 I14 National Championships, being held at the Sydney Flying Squadron in Kirribilli, on Sydney Harbour.

Results and report from races 4 and 5.

Races 4 and 5 were contested Wednesday 2nd January. The wing mark for both races was set quite shy which proved to be difficult for some, particularly when negotiating their way through the Sabots. It was very interesting viewing!

The results in the top 10 to 15 have been quite varied and they are all close in overall points. It will be interesting to see what happens in the final two days of racing. There are two races today Thursday 3rd and one tomorrow.

There will be a spectator ferry leaving the club (Sydney Flying Squadron in Kirribilli) at 1pm Friday, 4 January 2008. Tickets are $25 / adult and $10 / child.
