Racing was cancelled on Day 5 due to strong winds.
Wednesday, 14th January, was a great last day for the Regatta, with two boats tied on equal points in first place, but it was Grant Alderson and Dean McAullay in 3833 who came up trumps.
After a poor start, they managed to get into fourth place to clinch the title.
They had to beat **** (Barry Parkin) to win, and they did it by one place.
This was a tremendous result for the West Australians, backing up their National Title from the previous week.
The best Kiwis were Aaron Goodmanson and Alister Rowlands in Ffortune, who finished fourth overall.
Well done to the locals, and congratulations to all who competed who made this a great event!
