\"J\/122<\/a><\/p>\n

(Sydney, Australia)- The 172.0nm Cabbage Tree Island Race (hosted by Cruising Yacht Club of Australia) was held over the December 2nd to 3rd weekend with a combined fleet of sixty-nine yachts of which fifteen were sailed two-handed. \u00a0Again, we saw more outstanding success from the\u00a0J\/99<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0J\/122<\/a>\u00a0competitors. The growth of the two-handed fleet has been phenomenal and is a real credit to a remarkable bunch of sailors who band together to drive their sport.<\/p>\n

The Cabbage Tree Island Race started in Sydney Harbour on Friday evening, heading north to the island (just north of Port Stephens) and returning to finish back in the harbor.<\/p>\n

Shane Connelly from\u00a0J\/99<\/a>\u00a0RUM REBELLION commented, \u201cit was a great run up the coast to the island. I should have gybed closer to the island, but ended up going too deep. Rounding the island, we had about 3 hours of windward sailing before the wind swung east then northeast for a great run the rest of the sail home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
