RSYS was represented by our SKP SAustralian Open Match Racing Championships hosted by the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania (RYCT) from the 2 - 3 September. The team of Xavier McLachlan (Skipper), Thomas Rees (Main Trim), Katina Cassimaty (Trim) and James Hayhoe (Bow) landed in Hobart on Friday 1 September and went straight to the Club to get in some training on the fleet of Elliot 6’s in a lovely 10kn from the SE.

Skipper, Xavier Mclachlan writes "We then had a brief welcome function where we met the other teams, race committee and umpires for the event.

Saturday was a tougher day, with the team recovering from their weight drop, but we were all a lot happier after a big breakfast and ready to get into racing. After completing two races in a light 7kn NW, the breeze completely dropped out and we had to postpone racing, we had all the Elliot’s tied up behind the start boat and were enjoying some Boston Buns that the Race Committee provided and were talking about the racing with the other competitors. After the breeze filled into a lovely 12kn from the SE we got back into racing.

Sunday saw us finish the Round Robin series in a solid 8kn from the NW and move into the Petite Final series, we made it a clean sweep and won both the races in the Petit Final, putting us in 3rd for the event."
