Umina skippers feature

Umina skippers featured prominently when the Northern Mariners Radio Yacht Club finished the year's sailing on Saturday, December 10, at Mount Penang Gardens.

The final places were challenged right up to the last day of sailing.

Skippers enjoyed some Christmas nibbles and a social gathering at the completion of sailing while the scores for the year were finalised.

The scratch racing series for the year was won by Phil Page of Umina with Owen Jarvis from Kogarah coming second and Frank Russell from Umina coming third.

The handicap series was won by Maurice Fletcher, with Frank Russell coming second and Owen Jarvis a close third.

As well as sailing the scratch and handicap series at club level, competitors also participated in a grand prix series throughout the year and travelled to Foster, Kogarah, Wollongong, Maitland and Central Coast.

Three skippers from the Northern Mariners club will travel to Tasmania for the National Titles on January 5 and 6.
