The 2008/2009 summer season provided some fantastic results for boats and foils produced by Mark Thorpe Boatbuilding.
Our Flying Eleven’s completly dominated both the National and NSW championships with our hulls and foils used by all the top placed sailors. Congratulations to Josh McKnight and Ira Dubery for winning the National Title and also Olivia Price and Maddie Clancy for winning the NSW Title.
At the NS14 National titles in Adelaide Hugh Tait defended his title with new crew Tom Potter with Olympic gold medalist Mal Page and crew Fiona Elliot finishing 2nd. Both crews were sailing our Tiger hulls and used our carbon clear finish foils. The competition is now hotting up for the NSW titles to be sailed over the Easter long weekend.
Congratulations to Greg Roche winning the MG14 Nationals in one of our Tiger hulls and foils.
Our Manly Junior foils dominated the fleet at the National titles held at B.Y.R.A finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Our Sabot foils also performed well over the summer.
Well done to all the sailors involved.
