Photographer, Alex McKinnon, displays her images from the last day of the OK Dinghy Interdominion Championships that were sailed out of the Black Rock Yacht Club.

In Melbourne, the Westerly quadrant breeze climbed in to 25 knots and the seaway built with it. In the end, the final race of the day and the regatta was abandoned. New Zealand's, Greg Wilcox, who has been around the class for at least 30 years, was crowned the Interdominion Champion after a count back. Mark Jackson from BRYC took out the Australian title.
