TRACEY MCPHEE

MINNOW NATIONAL

CHAMPIONSHIP

It was a huge win for WA and TCYC with

our first WA National Champion also a

junior (under 12yrs), but not to be outdone

his little sister who at 8yrs old took out the

novice fleet. For many of these WA sailors

this was their first National championship

and the competition was tough from VIC

and NT sailors.

TASAR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Tasar 2015 World and

Australian Championships were

sailed January 2-9 from Geographe

Bay Yacht Club, Busselton,

Western Australia on the waters

of Geographe Bay. There were

boats from the USA, UK, Japan,

Netherlands, Ireland and Australia.

Nine of a possible ten races were

completed with different winners

for each race except for races three

and four which reflected the high

level of skills in the large group of

boats at the front of the fleet.

AUSTRALIAN FORMULA 18 NATIONALS

From January 23-26 2015 the Australian

Formula 18 Nationals were held at the

Humpybong Yacht Club (Woody Point

• Queensland). This regatta was all about
  consistency, there were a number of
  sailors that had the potential to win races.
  Skippers Brad Collet, Lachlan Gibson,
  Brett Burvill and Jason Waterhouse all
  challenged for the top spot. It wasn’t until
  mid day two when the regatta turned
  into a two boat race between Jason
  Waterhouse/Brett Goodall and Brett
  Burvill/Ryan Duffield.
