"Glenn Ashby extended his overall winning margin in the final race of the Australian A Class Catamaran Championships, held at the St Leonard's Yacht Club , on Port Phillip Bay to secure an outstanding 10th Australian
Championship in the class

Glenn Ashby grabs the Australian Nats after a long break from the Class while sailing with Team New Zealand in the Americas Cup Campaign. It was not an easy run though, 2011 World & current European champ Steve Brewin put on a one to one fight for the title confirming he is a top contender for Takapuna.
Steve Brayshaw and Jack Benson were quite consistent too, and went attacking the pair of champs for the top 3 spots on the final races.

Glenn Ashby leads Australian International A Class Catamaran National Titles.

"After an hiatus of two years due his Team New Zealand America's Cup commitments, Glenn Ashby has returned to sail in A Class Catamarans. After six races, he leads the Australian National Championship, by one point, from Steve Brewin, his perennial sparing partner.

Results from Day 1. Usual suspects leading: Ashby & Brewin with a Bullet each, holding 1st and 2nd overall. 3rd for Jack Benson. Excellent news having Dario Valenza's Paradox racing in the front fleet with Thomas Stuchbery besides some some trap/capsize issues, a good preparation for Takapuna.
