Bethwaite Memorial Trophy

27 February 2017
Four years ago, Dad and I were the inaugural winners of the Bethwaite Memorial Trophy. Yesterday, I was there, but this time I didn’t race. Instead I took pictures and watched on while my brother-in-law, new to sailing, did his first race with my Dad. Was pretty awesome. A short video taken from on board my Spiral, and an album of pictures below. It was a gorgeous day at Northbridge Sailing…

MC38 Nationals 2017: Ginger takes fourth in a row

19 February 2017
The final day of racing at the MC38 Nationals was as unpredictable as they come with the remnants of an overnight southerly front, storm activity, and an ever-attempting sea breeze. Regardless of the fickle breeze, and finding themselves in some tricky situations, the defending champions on Ginger, skippered by eighty-something-year-old Leslie Green are again the champions, for the fourth year in…

Festival of Sails 2017

24 January 2017

Sailor Girl Live: Rolex Sydney Hobart 2016

22 December 2016
Wow……… We interviewed 30 boats before the start, we were there live for the start when CQS “capsized” and Beau Geste was second out of the heads, and then when Perpetual Loyal broke the record in Hobart. We were live for the next 13 boats across the line, and then in Customs House for some chat and banter. “Sailor Girl Live! Brought to you by Zhik” was…

Live for the SOLAS Big Boat Challenge 2016!

14 December 2016
