Last Thursday to Sunday was the Australian 470 National Titles that were held at Port Stephens on Salamander Bay. The four days racing provided difficult conditions with light breeze all regatta as well as very shifty conditions which allowed for close and exciting racing amongst the 14 boat fleet. London Gold Medalist Mat Belcher with new crew Will Ryan won the regatta convincingly with a 12 point lead over second place whilst Elise Rechichi and Sarah Cook took out the Womens Division. Overall it was a great regatta with the difficult conditions showing some outstanding performances throughout the fleet.
