Read MoreAustin Lakes was the venue at the weekend for the DF 65 & 95 Class State Championships. Attracting entries from as far away as Albany the racing was competitive and fun to watch as well as to sail in.
Saturdays DF65 winner from Albany Radio Sailing Club was Geoffrey Oliver who was a class above the fleet winning 11 of the 16 races sailed. He showed us just how to be in the right spot to win the starts and then how to let the boat glide away to be first at the top mark in most races. The next podium positions were swapped by the next five boats however credit for consistency goes to Ron Viney who in the end takes second place. Third goes to Andrew Donkin.
On Sunday our returning WA DF95 2020 Champion “Andrew Grist” was just superior all day. He won most of the starts and stayed clear of issues sweeping to the front in most races. To win 7 of the 18 races shows his true class. Chasing hard was our local Austin Lake Champion Ian Sherriff who set a great standard for the chasing pack. Adam Viney form the Wanders Club in Perth was our third-place winner.
Little battles all over the course added to the fun of the day as did the humorous banter abounded between all sailors. They are all a great bunch of blokes, and we look forward to next year's event already.
