WA State Titles 2010 - Grant and Dean put their new boat "El Toro" in the water about a week before Easter and were immediately up to speed.

There were 39 entries for the racing hosted by Geraldton Yacht Club with one entry travelling from Esperance and two from Albany (1150 & 850 Klms away respectively). sailing conditions were good with southerlies blowing for the full regatta; a couple of cooler breezy days with 15 to 20 knots on Friday and Satrurday and a lighter 8 to 12 knots on Sunday. PRO and his team did an excellent job as did the GYC volunteers who also organised the social events. Full results

SA State Titles 2010 - Angry Dragon prevails in a tight affair with 3 Fives.

The 2010 FFISA state championships were held on the 24th and 25th April, with 11 boats, 3 silver and 8 classics. The series was dominated by "Angry Dragon" Chris Dean and Heath Patton, and "3Fives" Peter Fagan and John Willoughby, who after their discard had five 1sts, and five 2nds respectively. Third place was a very popular result for "My Folly" Kaye Illman and John Turner. Chris also won the silver division, and Peter the classic division, giving the two of them almost a clean sweep. The series started in winds up to 30 knots, resulting in some damage and not a few groundings for unwary skippers. The PRO wisely called a temporary halt to the session to allow for repairs and a regroup before the session recommenced at 3.30 in slightly more moderate conditions. The 3rd heat saw Angry Dragon OCS, and the delay caused by their return resulted in their only non 1st place in the series. Sunday saw moderate 12 to 15 knot winds and much closer racing, but the result was never in doubt.  Chris Dean was sailing AUS1680 borrowed from Charles Irwin, he currently sails a Rocket 780 in the fast TY division at Christies SC, and has now indicated he is on the lookout for a good classic to sail occasionally.  Full Results

Victorian State Championship 2010 - Matt Owen of Canberra Yacht Club wins a blustery series.

37 boats entered the State Titles at Gippsland Lakes YC including 6 entries from Canberra Yacht Club. 7 Races were held over the March long weekend. Canberra Yacht Club sailors Matt Owen and Andrew Reed sailed a consistent seven race series throughout the blustery conditions that prevailed, winds varied from the sublime 10 to 12 knot smooth seas of Lake Victoria to gusting 20/25 knot conditions which tested the abilities of all sailors. Only 13 points separated the top six boats in the Open division. Matt Owen and Andrew Reed in 'Visit to Ward 11A'prevailed from Adam Hawkins and Ben Jones in 'I'd Swap it for a Bundy' from Mornington Yacht Club and local Gippsland Lakes Yacht Club members Craig and Ian Rainey in 'Where the Bloody Hell are You'.
