The 24 skippers enjoyed an outstanding event, hotly contested throughout the 2 days of intense competition for the RC Laser 2014 Championship. Graham was lying in 3rd position at the end of Day 1 and 2nd position at lunch on Day 2. His win was assured by taking out top position in each of the final 4 races.
Second position was awarded to Jurgen Luther from Adelaide on a count-back from Paul Derwent who sails with Graham at Sydney’s Dobroyd club.
Local Gold Coast sailor Peter Burford was a popular choice for the RC Laser Sportsmanship Award and rounded out a great regatta with 6th position on the leaderboard
Congratulations to all the competitors – the regatta was sailed in the best of spirits as is the custom with RC Laser events.
Thanks also to the hosts, Paradise Radio Yachting Club, for the superb organisation.
