Abbotsford 12 Skiff Sailing Club hosted the 85th running of the Australian 12 Skiff Championship over the recent Easter weekend. 17 skiffs entered the series with Nick Press & Andrew (Noddy) Hay, sailing Sail INc. finishing clear winners, taking 5 firsts & a second from the 6 races.
Sail Inc always found an extra turn of speed when needed, their exceptional crew work & the development they have done with Steve Jackson, sailmaker from Sail Inc continues to produce the goods. While the result was a clear points win the racing was close with hard fought finishes among the top half of the fleet. Boat handling being clearly rewarded on the tight river courses.

A good rollup of 12 Foot Skiffs faced that starter at the Sydney Flying Squadron & Lane Cove 12ft Sailing Skiff Club over consecutive weekends in early December.
19 boats entered the series with six races in conditions from a light North Easterly on the first day to a fresh Westerly on day two and a moderate Easterly for the closing weekend. A great test of the 12 s top 3 rigs.
The racing was close over a combination of long and short courses.
Sail Inc sailed by Nick Press & Andrew Hay dominated the series, winning all 6 races, the majority comfortably but also showing their class to fight back on a couple of occasions.
