Oceania & Australian Masters Westernport YC Results
David Whait leading Matt Faddy and Matt Blakey all enjoying the conditions at the top of the ILCA 7 Fleet
Over 100 boats lined up for the 2025 Masters at Westernport (27 ILCA 7s, 80 ILCA 6s and 6 ILCA 4s) sailed 21-24 February at Westernport YC, Victoria.
On day one no race started with the tide velocity at times exceeding the wind. Conditions after that ranged from excellent ranging up to challenging allowing PRO Col Dods to run three races per day so 9 of the scheduled 10 races were completed. WYC did a fabulous job on the water and for the several social events which were much appreciated by all the sailors.
There was great racing in all the fleets and some fabulous rides across the reaches and with some decent wind and wave waves down the runs.
The final results for the event are Here.
Lots of action photos of the event are available to free download thanks to Tom France @thomasfrancephotography.
Bruce Paine and the Boat of Pain found the waves a fair bit bigger than on Lake Burly Griffin
