Lane Cove 12ft Sailing Skiff ClubLasersLincoln Crown sailed by Jonathan Temple and Richard Jones tookhome seven handicap trophies and were runners-up in the ClubChampionship.Those Lasers keep on coming. Despite someregulars not managing their usual quota of sailingthis season a robust fleet featuring 25 skipperscrossed the starting line during the season andnumbers for next season are looking good.David Rosenthall sailing Imp (this must be his30th boat named Imp!) must be congratulated forfinally winning the standard rig clubchampionship five years after last beingsuccessful – he captured all three major trophiesthat year. This year he also picked up thestandard rig fastest time pointscore. Well doneDavid.Gemmell Sails (lent to Nick Press and AndrewStevenson) and PennyLiss (Will Oxby and GlennFarquhar). The change of boat and crewobviously didn’t faze Nick Press too much as heand Andrew won the 52nd Silasec Trophy, withthis being Nick’s remarkable third win in a row.PennyLiss, although only managing 12th overall,came very close in the handicap point score witha second in the Jack Winning Handicap Trophy.Other notable Interclub results across the seasonwere:State Champion: Dimension PolyantUpper Harbour Champion: Gemmell SailsVariety Port Jackson Champion:Gemmell SailsThe final event for the year was the AustralianChampionships at Easter in Sydney, held atWoollahra Sailing Club and this was notable forthe placings of Lane Cove boats:Second:Third:Fifth:Gemmell SailsLincoln CrowneSkӧllChris Sacre on Back to Square One leads Rob Drury on Sprat.The Radial Club Championship has seen achanging of the guard with James Stewart sailingHarvey taking the title for the first time along withthe Radial fastest time pointscore. With Radialsnow comprising fifty percent of competitors theclass has become more competitive for everyone.Tony Mulhearn on Thira III captured theStandard’s Handicap Pointscore and Kim Stewarton Makani retained the Radial version to extendhis streak to three seasons in a row.It was certainly a good sign of things to come withthe return of Dave Lusty to steer the Hood after afew years layoff and show that the sailing memorycan still work. Also there is encouragement of newblood coming into the class as the old Vantage IIchanged hands with Cam Gundy and MaccaPaton sailing it for the last few races of theseason, putting in a very creditable performancesboth in Club races and at the Nationals. We canonly hope that for the next season we will get afew more boats consistently on the water.Glenn Farquhar - 12ft Skiff Class SecretaryKim Stewart on Makini won the Radial rig Handicap Pointscore.www.LC12ftSSC.org.au Page 12
