Hobie 16 & 505 KZN Champs - Saturday & Sunday 27 & 28 April 2002

14 Hobie 16's and 9 505's enjoyed two good, if slightly light air days of sailing off Durban this weekend when both classes sailed their KZN Champs. Despite the light conditions the Hobies got in 5 races and the 505's four. The racing was tight throughout and there was no runaway leader in either class. All who sailed enjoyed a good event and some good social activity too with a fine party down at the Beach Site on Saturday evening. The results were dominated to a degree by the Gauteng sailors who made the trip down, taking two of the top three positions in both classes. Clearly they enjoyed the light air conditions! The top three in each class were as follows:

Hobie 16 505
Position Skipper Province Position Skipper Province
1st Mike Herrold Gauteng 1st Stuart Hegestrom KZN
2nd Sean Fennessy KZN 2nd Rudolph Holm Gauteng
3rd Paul Troll Gauteng 3rd Tony Murray Gauteng
