The final round of the NSW Sharpie State Titles was held on the 25/26 April at the Bateman's Bay Anzac Day Regatta. Before racing even started Michael Forster on Smoke had the NSW Sharpie State title wrapped up with five 1sts and a 2nd from the Lake Illawarra and Balmoral rounds. However, the hunt was still on for second place in the States. Racing on Saturday 25th April was tough with gusty westerly winds varying between 10 to 20 knots and a decent swell. A number of boats capsized in both races. The first race of the day was taken out by seasoned Sharpie veteran Rick Shortridge on Proud Aussie, with David Dixon Hughes on Tickety Boo second and Chris Ablett third on Work’n Class. The Michael Forster/ Andrew Forster/ Ben Phillips Smoke combination won the second race of the Saturday. Ian Richardson came in second on Road Kill and Todd Curry third on Mr Freeze. On the Sunday racing was called off due to the 25 knots of breeze at 9.00am with about 30-40 predicted by lunchtime. Rick Shortridge on Proud Aussie won the regatta on the basis of the two races sailed. For the NSW State titles Ian Richardson came in second on Road Kill and Rick Shortridge third on Proud Aussie. Next years state titles should be interesting with promising new boats sailing in the class at Port Kembla Sailing Club.
