Team Salter takes Inaugural Combined Clubs Women s Keelboat Regatta crown by Jane Austin 25 Apr 09:12 UTC 24 April 2021
Skipper Kirsty Salter, Amelia Catt, Lizzi Rountree and Amy Potter, representing the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, won the inaugural Combined Clubs Women s Keelboat Regatta in Hobart on Saturday.
The unpredictable River Derwent kept Race Officer Ian Ross and the 48 female sailors on their toes with big wind shifts throughout the day, with the heaviest conditions kicking in from the south west at 15+ knots for the Gold and Silver Fleet finals.
Salter was expected to do well in the event and didn t disappoint, starting with a second place in the first flight of the Yellow Fleet Qualifier. A frustrating sixth in the next flight put the team on notice but a second in the final flight saw them sneak through to the Gold Fleet final on 10 points.

The new home of the New Norfolk Rowing Club, the Derwent Valley Boat House, will provide a fantastic recreational and social gathering space for New Norfolk locals and the Derwent Valley community.
The new $2.3 million club and community facility was supported by $575,000 from the Tasmanian Government’s Community Infrastructure Fund, which aims to enhance the liveability and cohesion of communities around Tasmania.
The new location and brand new building marks a significant achievement in the almost 100-year-old club’s history and concludes many years of planning and hard work from club members and volunteers.
