Most Classes have now had their Nationals, Worlds and State Titles. Now is a great time to reflect on what went well, what could have been done better and start to learn or consolidate skills and settings to setup for next year. Another great thing about sailing is there are always more regattas to do for a very long time.
Laser Radial Worlds
Congratulations to SoPYC’s Michael Compton who held off fast finishing Aussie compatriots Brody Riley and Stefan Elliott-Shircore, also SoPYC, to claim second overall after six days of exciting racing at the Laser Radial Worlds.
Michael is a worthy recipient of the SoPYC’s Program of Merit and continues to do the club proud with results and volunteer work at the club.
The SoPYC Windbot weather system was again used by Coach Ben Walkameyer to help strategize Michael and the other WA sailors race plans and post-race analysis. This is a fantastic tool for our sailors.
Many classes had their States over the weekend including the 29er’s at Freo and Optimists at RFBYC

29er States
The 29er States were won by Axel Fleet and Kieron Bucktin who had exceptional speed downwind in the light winds of day 1 but were often challenged upwind and there were 4 other heat winners throughout the close 6 race series.
