GRACELAND.

Here is some photos from last years State Titles.

I forgot to mention the N.S.W States is open to all Nacra Classes.

Also is there camping available either at the NRSC clubhouse or somewhere close by?

Any accommodation suggestions or links would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hopefully there will be some other Nacra F18's for you to race.
How did your centreboard case repairs go?
After going to Trial Bay once you will be hooked and will have to go there every year after.

Regards Steve.

BCC have been kind enough to loan me a spare dagger board to keep me going until they make the new board, and then slot my boat into their schedule for the hull repairs to be carried out.

Cheers

We had a great weekend and would like to thank NSW assocation for running the event.
Us Queensland,s will be back next year with more friends to hopefully take title again.
Maybe Dave Jorgenson will win one finally.

It was really great to see so many 5.8s together again.
