Day 4 was breezier than the rest of the week, with all boats carrying jibs today! Race 9 saw Sean Kirkjian come out early and take the lead, with Sean Wallis in second and Nev Wittey in third. Race 10 saw the same result, leaving no doubt that Sean Kirkjian was the first person to win 4 J24 Nationals – Death Star was hard to beat this week and out of 10 races, had 5 wins.
Congratulatins to all competitors for some great racing this week, and for the efforts of 5 interstate boats making the trek to Sydney. Thanks to MHYC for hosting a great regatta and for all those involved in making this event a huge success. Please also support Nicole at www.sailingimages.net – she did a great job catching all the action on camera this week.

Thanks Paula for your daily coverage – and there were other boats competing in these races and not that far behind. We all had a mighty tussle for the next thirteen spots. It was terribly challenging racing with hardly a weak boat in the pack. I think the championships were a great success – well beyond what was anticipated a month or so ago. A big thankyou to all the race officials and committee for your efforts.
