Etchells Australian Championship: New Brisbane Crew in the lead


2008 Audi Etchells Australian Championship
Suellen Hurling, Thursday, 17 January 2008

Local Brisbane Fleet sailors Jason Muir, Matthew Chew, Paul Wyatt and Darren Jones have taken the lead from fellow locals Mark Bradford, Ben Durham and Wade Morgan after the Race 5 of the 2008 Audi Etchells Australian Championship on Moreton Bay.

Sitting in second place two points behind Muir is New Zealand sailor Alistair Gair with David Ridley, Carl Peters and Derek Scott.  A further two points behind Gair is Bradford now placed on 36 points.

The light and challenging conditions being faced on the eastern waters of Moreton Bay have seen the fleet split in each race of the regatta so far.  Race 5 also resulted in a broken mast and damaged halyard for two boats in the fleet, even though the breeze never reached above 14 knots.

The competitors are currently making the hour long journey to the race course for the second last race of the 2008 Audi Etchells Australian Championship.
