Aussie Sonar group finish Sixth

After race 11 was cancelled due to lack of wind, the Three-Person Keelboat (sonar) contestants were awarded medals from the standings after day 10.

Australia’s boat which included WAIS’s Colin Harrison, Jonathan Harris (NSW) and Stephen Churm (NSW) finished sixth overall.

Harrison, Harris and Churm finished just seven points behind second and five off third following a week of close racing on Portland Harbour.

The Australians, who were competing in only their third international regatta together after teaming up in January this year, were in the mix all regatta, having the early event lead following a good opening day.

Harrison and crew went on to claim four top three finishes from the 10 races, with the light winds on Thursday unfortunately stopping them from pushing on for a medal in the final race.
