Greg W Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Hey Dave - the Victor Harbour site does not actually give the final placings (at least not that I can see!) Do we assume that Bryan won on a countback? Cheers Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Yes Greg, that's correct. For some reason the ties haven't been resolved on the website. So it should say that Bryan Anderson won from Bruce Rose. Note that the tie in 7th is also in the wrong order, and should have Richard McKeon in 7th with Stephen Brayshaw 8th. Dave.

Craig A Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Cheers Dave. I was confused as to why Bruce was top of the list, but it appeared Bryan should have won any countback. Congrats to Bryan on winning the title! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg W Posted January 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Thanks Dave! Still follow the PT's even though we don't have one any more. BTW Brendan collared 3rd at the Nacra Nats on his 16 Square. The PT's are a very good nursery for young sailors methinks. Cheers Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Brett Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Still sailing a PT at age 75, perhaps I'll graduate from the nursery one day! Cheers, J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 That's one of the great things about PTs. They are both an excellent training ground for going onto bigger things as well as a great class to stay in for many years. An excellent example is Glenn Ashby, the current "A" Class Cat World Champion,who started in PTs. Yet there are also guys who have been in the class since its inception and are still loving it. I believe there are some key reasons why the class is so successful, some of which are: - Good size Nationals fleets (the recent one had 40 boats despite being in a location that wasn't the home of a PT fleet); - Sailed in many states (Qld, NSW, SA, Tas and Vic represented at this last Nationals); - Good fleets in New Zealand which provides the sailors an opportunity to represent their country at the International Series sailed twice every three years; - A class that has enough freedoms to keep 'tinkerers' interested, but retains a one-design focus that keeps everyone competitive; - A boat that is well balanced and an absolute pleasure to sail, whether you are young or old. Pass on my congrats to Brendan, Greg. Regards, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rob S Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Bruce R and I stayed in a 4 bed house in Victor Harbour and it was sensational compared to a cabin at $100 per night. Talk to local real estate agents. This house was through Professionals. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
