Skippers compete in State titles
Radio sailing yacht skippers from the Peninsula travelled with Central Coast club Northern Mariners to Kogarah Bay in Sydney to compete in the State Titles for 10rater yachts on the weekend of November 9 and 10,.
There were over 20 skippers competing and the fleet was divided into two heats over the weekend.
Three Northern Mariners skippers placed in the top 10 with placings of third, fourth and sixth.
Umina's Phil Page came third with 68 points.
It was a well-contested event with varying wind conditions, giving the skippers a chance to change sails throughout the two days.
The strong winds on the Saturday saw skippers changing fairly quickly from A rigs down to B, C and then D rigs as the winds grew stronger.
Skippers from NSW, Queensland, Victoria and the ACT competed and all agreed it was good sailing and a good lead up to the National titles.
The National Titles will be held in early January in Victoria.
