Twilight Yachts Division #1,
Well, can you get any closer in points after 8 races? 1 point separated first (1st) from third (3rd) in Division #1. Yes that’s right, 1 point. Congratulations go to:-

1. INTERNSHIP
2. STEWDADS
3. LUCKY NUMBERS.

Twilight Yachts Division #2,
Was a little bit more one sided with the first placed finisher getting 3 wins from 6 starts which was always going to be hard to peg back by the remaining contenders. Congratulations go to:-

1. BUNDY ON
2. SOLEIL
3. CITY FLYER

A huge congratulations to Team SLMASC sailor TOM BURTON who placed 9th @ The Laser Worlds in Oman 17 Nov – 23 Nov 2013. Tom was the highest placed Australian finisher with results of:-

R1    R2    R3    R4    R5    R6    R7    R8    R9    R10    R11    R12

8      1       4      17     14     7       21     12    15     9        18       31

Tom spoke with AST’s Cora Zillich:-

“It’s been a bit mixed results-wise for me.  I came here wanting to win, I had been in contention to win every regatta I competed at this year and I had high hopes that this would be the same.  Unfortunately, it didn’t go the way I planned”, he said.

“It has been nearly six months since I raced at full competition level and it showed a little with some of the mistakes I was making although it was a really tricky event”, he added.

“My expectations and goals were to at least beat what I did last year which was fifth position.  I wasn’t far off in the end but in reality I was well off the pace of the leaders.  The top six were at a different level and seemed to do everything right.”

“On a positive note, I strive to reach that level.  In the laser fleet it doesn’t take much for the top guys to look really good.  I know I can repeat what I was doing this year and that was being in contention to win at most events.” 

Tom, I know your Mum, Dad and family as well as your extended family @ SLMASC are all really proud of your achievements, bring on Sail Melbourne….and then hopefully some well earned rest and relaxation @ home?
