Australian Nats 2014: 7th race completed, Brewin ties 1st

editor

Report sent by Ian Johnson.

Race 7 set for 12-14 knots breeze which unfortunately dropped to a variable 7-10 knots during the race which saw some periods as low as 5 knots.
Steve Brewin started about 2.5 minutes late due to issues getting off the shore. This did not impact him however as the adrenalin worked in his favour and took the lead by the first mark and was not headed after that. Second
place to Glenn Ashby followed by Steve Brayshaw, Dave Brewer and Michael Kopp putting in a blinder. The series is now tied between Glenn And Stevie with 2 races remaining. The race committee sent all sailors ashore after race 7 and hope to get a start by 2 pm when the breeze hopefully will build.
