Finally congratulations to our coaches who were more often than not at SIRC before sunrise and often there till well after dark rigging boats.

Without their dedication to coaching, their hard work at the regatta these performances would not be possible. Don McLachlan, Alfie Young, Chris Holliday, Debbie Fox and Jack Hanley.
