SB3's race in Sydney for the first time!

SB3’s are already beginning to arrive in Sydney for the Audi Sydney Harbour Regatta on 1st and 2nd March. Teams are trying to keep their training secret as the racing at the inaugural SB3 national championships held during Skandia Geelong Week was so close. Sailors are now focusing on trying to get the upper hand as the fleet in Geelong was often only separated by seconds at the finish.

Early front runners include:

‘Green Machine’
Former Australian Sabot champion Sean O’Rourke has good reason to be excited about his future career in one design fleet racing and the highly competitive IRC class ocean racing. The exceptionally talented Mooloolaba Yacht Club sailor who added the Audi Australian IRC championship to his impressive career as a member of the Rod Jones skippered OceanBuro crew has already shown he can race with the best in the Dart SB3.

‘Team Ocean’s 11’
Skippered by Kai Timm, tactician, top sailing coach and distributor for the SB3 in Australia has sharpened his teeth well before the event. Timm said “We are using this as a training event for the Worlds in Ireland”

‘RGYC1’
Skippered by Brendan Garner, this top Melbourne based sailor just missed out on the top spot at the nationals after a lost protest. Brendan is probably regarded as the man to beat, but he will have his work cut out if he wants to walk away as the winner.

‘Wagop
Skippered by Mike Mclean. If Wagop can produce the same level of performance as they did on the first day of the nationals expect to see them close to the front!


Also in the mix will be the Newcastle fleet of SB3’s sporting their Star Wars names. Rod Jones, Distributor and director of Oceanburo, said “I was delighted to be part of the SB3 event in Geelong and I am excited about the sailors visiting Sydney, which is truly a great venue for this boat; I only wish I was racing!”
Another great event for the SB3.
Everyone is getting onboard! Are you?
