2013 Australian Nats @Darwin, Northern Territory

editor

"The Australian Nationals are being held in Darwin, Northern Territory . Last time we were here was in 1968.
Joint leaders after 6 races with one drop are Dave Brewer and Jack Benson (after flying home from Europeans) with 3 wins and 2 seconds each.

Small fleet due to running the Nationals in middle of year instead of normal Christmas break, however racing at the front has been very close with less than 10 seconds between first and second in several races.
12 races are scheduled with 3 per day. Monday saw 3 races in 15-18 knots. Tuesday 3 races in 15-20 knots. Some breakages and a few capsizes"
