Backchat wins Adams 10 Nationals
Tom Braidwood and the crew of Backchat from Lake Macquarie Yacht Club have won the Adams 10 Australian Championship held on Sydney Harbour over the weekend.
After seven races, Backchat finished two points ahead of Rock Solid (Mitch Miller & Andrew Gunton) with Another Dilemma (Tim Gallego) seven points further backin third in the One-Design pointscore. Another Dilemma claimed the Performance Handicap win.
With a large swell running in The Sound, the Middle Harbour Yacht Club Race Management Team chose to set the courses between Obelisk Bay and Watsons Bay on both days. South-easterlies were mainly 18 knots on Saturday and 22 knots on Sunday, providing for some close and exciting encounters with umpired fleet racing adjudicated by umpire Simon Barrington.
Congratulations to the Backchat crew and all the competitors. Many thanks to all the MHYC volunteers for running a great event.
