FFIA - South Australia |
The SA state titles were held on 3rd & 4th May 2008 at the Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club. 4 heats were sailed on the Saturday in fickle light breezes, and the final 2 on the Sunday morning in a moderate but gusty breeze. No dramas, no protests, and sailed in good spirit. Bradley Briggs and Charles Irwin in Flying Squad made a flying start winning the first 3 races, but as Ray Ellard and Mark Kehr from Christies Sailing Club sailing Fawkes came to grips with the conditions ( and the shorten course procedure they were confused in heat 1) they won the last 3 heats, with the final result coming down to the difference between a second and fourth place. Consistency wins series, and a popular result.

New Class Rules and Measurement Form are available on the "Class Rules" page. These became effective on the 1st March 2008, the changes being the deck thickness rule and permitting 2 windows in the jib - as per the ballot we did last August. You will recollect that the proposed change to the mast height was defeated both here and internationally. |
