Sailing

Thomas Larkings (9/FL) won Silver Medal in the 2015-2016 Australian Sabot Sailing National Championships which where held on Lake Macquarie in December – January. The championship raced over six days and ten races with over 120 competitors from four states. The final race was decided by the narrowest of margin.

Tony Harrison (8/MA) also competed and finished a very respectable 4th on handicap.

Well done to Tom and Tony who have now teamed up for the 2016-2017 season in a Flying 11 and will be competing at the National titles in Hobart in January 2017.

Another member of the Larkings family, Henry Larkings (10/FL) made sailing his debut season in the International 29er skiff class and won the Australian 29er Junior Champion. The Australian 29er Nationals was held at Woollahra Sailing Club in January with competitors from all over Australia, NZ and Hong Kong.

16 races where raced in appalling conditions often through very heavy rain and strong winds which did not deter the competitors but made it more challenging, pushing the 29er skiffs along at incredible speeds.

Congratulations to Henry on a superb debut!
