Top sailors chase Australian SB20 crown by Jane Austin 5 Mar 05:38 UTC 6-8 March 2021
The scene is set for three days of intense racing in the 2021 Harcourts Hobart SB20 Australian Championship in Hobart. Sailors from New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania will contest the three-day event which will be sailed on the River Derwent this long weekend from the Derwent Sailing Squadron.
The star-studded, 20-boat field includes some of Australia s best match-racing talent and several world champion sailors including David Chapman, Ben Lamb, Nick Rogers and Darren Jones.
Last year s winner, Tasmanian Institute of Sport sailor Will Sargent, will be defending his title with Eddie Reid, Ed Broadby and Hugo Allison, but the young guns will have their work cut out for them as they vie to make it two in a row.
