24.01.2022 A fantastic weekend of Etchells racing with the Fleet Championship closing out the season. Congrats to Ray Smith, Brad and Scott on The Cure for win on count back against Todd, Grant and Curtis on TAG and the boys from the goldie Ben Leigh-Smith, Jabin and Steve for taking out 3rd spot. It was such a closely contested regatta with only a few seconds separating the first 5-8 boats in most races. Photos to come soon. Well done everyone for such an enjoyable weekend on and off ...the water, and I can't describe how great it is to see the camaraderie between all the sailors on the dock, at the BBQs and Presentation. A big shout out to Tony Di Betta for taking home the 'Pick of the Fleet' award, a well deserved award for his and his crews commitment to the Fleet for well over 12 months. Also thanks to all the volunteers, RQ sailing committee and management and Etchells committee for all the work that goes on in the background to make this regatta (and the 2020-2021 season) happen so smoothly - we really appreciate it. See you in Mooloolaba in June and the QLD states in Oct on the Gold Coast. Cheers Jason Results: https://app.sailsys.com.au//results/series/1076/pointscore
