"Very well deserved win by the young Aussie team.. A good future for Australian cat sailing. The next generation is coming.. "


5th place Carolijn Brouwer added via the same communication channel

"Cool to see the young kids pushing the Vipers hard. Really enjoying the close racing. "

And here our winners doing some formation flying towards the mark.

They are in the middle sailing on AUS-192, flanked on the left by BEL-888 of Carolijn Brouwer and Liz Wardley and on the right by BEL-666 sailed by Gill de Bruyne and Kathleen van den Bulcke.


I couldn't resist as I think this is such a beautiful picture by Marco Lazzetta.

One of the benefits of being a formula class. The design slowly converges to the best setup possible and isn't stalled in a setup that once was considered best.
