After six races and  two days of incredibly exciting Melges 24 racing  Bandit  AUS 814 claims the East Coast Championship  over Accru AUS 679 by one point in the Melges 24’s. 

The friendly  rivalry between owners  and training partners Warwick Rooklyn Bandit and Kevin Nixon Accru has a long history in 18 ft skiffs.  The team aboard Bandit  Dave O’Connor, Doug McGain, Jay Griffin and Julian Plante took an impressive four bullets over the series and demonstrated slick crew work  and superior downwind speed.

The two day Alfred’s Festival of Sail hosted by The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club held over the week-end was sailed in perfect conditions on Pittwater and offshore with 64 boats competing across various fleets and divisions on day one.

The format for the two day event, now in its second year, featured two inshore and offshore races and six one design sprint races for Sydney 38s and the Melges 24 and 32 fleets, who held their East Coast Championships to coincide with the festival.
