With one day to spare Sandy Higgins and Jordan Spencer have taken out the Living Colour International 505 Australian Championship title.

Sailing offshore for the first time in the series the fleet enjoyed sunshine and a building north/northeasterly over a long swell south of the Heads for the first race, before the ever larger thunder clouds to the south began to supress the seabreeze. By mid afternoon the clouds had moved offshore but the second race finished in a gradually fading breeze.

Tomorrow is the last day of racing in the tiltles.

Crosbie Lorimer was out on the water today to catch the action. Images can be purchased by contacting Crosbie at crosndale(at)optusnet.com.au
