Congratulations to all of the sailors in the RC Laser racing 2014 Victorian State Title and in particular to Victorian Scott Fleming for defending his title. The field included RC Laser sailors from South Australia, Barongarook and Colac.
South Australian Jurgen Luther added silver to his growing list of trophies and Cameron Davies who races with Scott at the Waterways/Patterson Lakes Club sailed well to take out the bronze.
Grey skies greeted the ten skippers on arrival at Patterson Lakes on the morning of Saturday 25th May and racing commenced at 10 am with a steady, light nor’easter. The breeze steadily picked up and B sails quickly replaced the As. The B sails prevailed through most of the day although C sails were tried out by some of the competitors as the breeze strengthened.
At the lunch break, the score-card had five skippers within a few points of each other, however the situation changed after the meal-break with Scott and Jurgen skipping clear and Cameron and Grant Gillespie (Colac) battling it out for the bronze.
Another RC Laser racing event decided and a great day had by all.
A big thanks to Frank Katers, PRO and Tony Smith, PRO’s assistant.
