Tim Wright came down from the north and pulled off the 4-peat - easily! Congratulations to Tim on his No Doubter. Some new faces at the regatta this year - Bill Shaw and Russell Franklin - thank you for coming. Hope to see you next year! And huge thank you's to 3 people who made Herculean efforts to get there-from afar - Tim Stone, Glenn Chalder and Jacques Rioux.
Banner flags were awarded to the top 5 places and to the people who worked to make the regatta possible: Ryan, Margo, Jessica, BB and Tim Stone. AMYA Regional Championship red chevrons were awarded to the top 3 places. Well OK I forgot to award them, but they will soon be on their way.
