Superb Sailing at Rivoli Bay
The Annual SA vs Vics regatta was held on January 28th and 29th at arguably Australia's most picturesque sailing location, Rivoli Bay, and what a brilliant weekend of sailing it was! The 5 races; 3 Saturday afternoon and 2 Sunday morning, were contested on the beautiful turquoise waters in great sailing conditions.

The weekend saw a fantastic fleet of 11 SA and 9 Vic boats all working hard for the coveted trophy. The talent and depth in the field evidenced by the 5 different winners for each of the 5 races, 3 from Vic and 2 from SA. SA blitzed the mug-of-the-day comp - the Hudwalloping failure to finish when leading the race and the Oogy Wawa man-overboard incident 1 minute before the start, left little room for any other competiton! However, the Victorians, still stinging from their loss last year, managed to regain some pride by winning the 2012 SA vs Vics Rivoli Regatta - Victoria 6 points, SA 4 points.
