Winning Appliances JJ Giltinan 2012, Race 7 another win for 7 - Video

Gotta Love it. JJ Giltinan Trophy Sydney Harbour 2012. Ingrid Abery http://www.ingridabery.com
The A team, with Jarvin, Babbage, and Newton brought the 'Red Rocket', Gotta Love it 7 home for their sixth bullet to complete their total domination of the 2012 JJ.

The B team, Michael Coxon, Aaron Links, and Ironman Trent Barnabus, Thurlow Fisher Lawyers, finally nailed second overall, with their hard fought second place yesterday. Trent, with his left leg badly swollen and in obvious pain, stoically battled in the bow against the challengers, Appliances on LIne and then Mojo Wine, who crossed in third place to Micah Lane's guys.

This torrid contest, held all the spectator's interest throughout as 7 sailed serenely away to JJ Giltinan glory.



Now legendary 18 footer champion Iain Murray revisits the scene.



Pick the Podium was won by Dary Sulich......who beat Tim Laws to the punch with a perfect podium of Gotta Luv it 7, Thurlow Fisher Lawyers, and Mojo Wines. Dary wins the www.barzoptics.com Floater Sunnies, the www.slamonline.com.au Cap, T Shirt and Belt, and the www.appliancesonline.com.au Bar Fridge.

The JJ Winners video draw, saw Trent Barnabus pull out the lucky winners. Tina Babbage won the www.sailingbits.com Velocitek Pro Start, Davey Longworth won the Slam Jacket, and the last one in, Dary Sulich, won the Caiso G Shock Sport Watch.

The next big draw for the www.bigbrownbox.com.au Flat Screen TV for all the P t P winners this season will be announced next week. A big thanks to all players of this very tough series and all our prize donors....well played everyone.
