Nossiter wins Finn class at Sail Melbourne

by Di Pearson on 18 Jan 2004 Anthony ‘Nocka’ Nossiter was today announced winner of the Finn class at the Sail Melbourne Regatta on Port Phillip Bay.

The Finns were kept ashore today when winds strengthened and Sandringham race officials decided to call off all racing in the class.

Nossiter, from Sydney, won seven of the ten races sailed, and with two race drops finished with nine points from Josh Beaver, (W.A.), who finished on 15 points, two first places in his score. Watch out for the name Beaver, he gets better with each regatta.

Paul McKenzie (Vic) finished in third place overall with 20 points.

The host, Sandringham Yacht Club, will hold a prize giving tonight.
