Lucy & Sophie win final Cadet event of 2005 - Team AUS for Hungary 2006 announced.
Tasmanian crew Lucy Shephard (Right) and Sophie Chesterman (Left) in “Capricious” have shown great consistency in the light to moderate conditions to win the 2005 International Cadet Australian Championships, held in NSW for the first time. With 2 heat wins, 5 podium finishes and a 9th as a discard, the girls scored a comfortable victory from Jock Sinclair and Matt Fitzpatrick from Geelong in “Longreach” and Kate Aulich and Anton Sasson from Sandringham in “Striker"
The 86-strong fleet made a colourful sight sailing out of Woollahra Sailing Club. The resurgence of the class in recent years and its growth in NSW, plus the lure of sailing in Sydney for the first time in its 44 year history, ensured a big turn-out. The brilliant weather certainly helped to showcase the harbour at its best and the added attractions of the Sydney-Hobart start and the New Years Eve fireworks made for a memorable time for the interstate families and crews.
