Dinghy Sports Australia
Mark Phillips of Dinghy Sports Australia is now building MK3 Mirrors. He is a very experienced boat builder and was kind enough not only to sail at our event but also donate foils as prizes. The MK3 Mirrors are very impressive boats and Mark and his team are to be congratulated. Have a look! http://www.dinghysports.com/
Steve Walker Sails.
Steve Walker was generous enough to donate some sails to the regatta. Be sure to kit your boat out with the new spinnaker. Its larger and faster and now legal for sailing. Follow the link to Steve Walker sails for more details. http://www.stevewalkersails.com.au/
"'Sailing' [sa-ling] obsession. The fine art of getting really wet, really cold, going nowhere fast, while spending really large amounts of money." (Global Culture)
