The inaugural Jolly Roger Laser Traveller Series was held this year over 6 weekends from May to October. With the generous sponsorship of Zhik and Laser PSA, there have been some great spot prizes handed out at the individual clubs, as well as the fantastic major prizes. These were certainly welcomed by the competitors and no doubt kept the interest in the overall result high.
Each of the participating yacht clubs made the association very welcome and the participants enjoyed a range of different weather, wind and sailing conditions. The visiting Lasers certainly raised the interest in the class at host clubs. A big thank you to the following clubs....
May 29 - Black Rock
June 19 and 20 - Albert Park
July 18 - Elwood
August 28 and 29 - Mordialloc
October 9 - McCrae
October 31 - Geelong
The series attracted a total of 58 lasers over the six venues. This was made up of 23 Standard rigs, 22 Radial rigs and 13 4.7's. There were several boats that turned up to nearly all the events which was a great effort.
The final winners were not only the ones that sailed the best but also the ones who made the effort to get to nearly all the different days.
