2015 J24 Australian National Championships - Day 1
by J24 Australia on 9 Jan 2015
South head J24 - J24 2011 National Championships Simon Grain
2015 J24 Australian National Championships - Day one has got off to an interesting start with more protests that races held.
After a very stormy morning today following two 38 deg days previously that have had those preparing their boats spending unusually large amounts of time falling about with heat stress and consuming large amounts of water rather than beer, racing got going with a huge black wall of cloud to the north of the race track. The breeze was a light and variable 13knots, flat seas and warm muggy temp, champagne sailing really.
Dave Suda won the first race from Simon Grain sailing Code Violation but is on the receiving end of a multi-boat protest at the top mark for a port and starboard in the second race. At least four protests are in already and I believe there may be more to come – busy night in the committee room !
Code Violation was leading all the way round the track in the second race before falling into a hole 100m from the finish and having three boats sail around them as the breeze died. Brendan Lee took out the second race from Doug Watson, Dave Suda and Code.
