Queensland state titles. Great event.
A fleet of 29 Nacra’s attended the Queensland Nacra titles in Townsville-North Queensland.
Perfect weather and good breezes made for the perfect event over Easter.
A fleet of 29 Nacra’s attended the regatta, with the fleet still growing in North Queensland.
Sailing was held over 3 days and 12 races were managed to be raced, with best 11 counted.
Conditions were generally 10-15knots with good waves and nearly sunny weather most of the time.
Social events were held on Friday night at Jamico Joe’s which overlooks the water.
Plus a presentation on the lawn on Sunday over looking Magnetic island.
It was great to see all competitors on the 4.5 sailing 2 up with children.
Well done to Lucus for finishing 3rd, who sailed 2 up both being only 15years old.
