AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL CHAMPS - Port Stephens, NSW, 6-9 Dec
Day 2
Three more races in a slightly softer breeze, building as the day went on. More glorious blue New South Wales skies.
Rhett continued his dominance of the RS Aeros 7s, but with Nick Collis-George (Balmoral, NSW) taking out the win in race 2. Michael O'Brien (Royal Brighton YC, VIC) continued his stream of 2nds, staying poised to pounce for the title over the next two days. The visiting Team from the UK, Shaun Priestly and Ben Rolfe, have a string of 3rds and 4ths and are ready to make their move on the podium once the second discard kicks in.
