Congratulations Akamai Race Team from Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club – (pictured above) taking home the Special Edition, 30th Anniversary Regatta, for the Women’s State Keelboat Championships hosted by Fremantle Sailing Club.
A fantastic morning of close racing and ever-changing conditions off the coast of Fremantle in South Beach saw the state’s female keelboat sailors battle it out on the fleet of Foundation 36s to find the winner of the 30th edition of the historic Women’s State Keelboat Championships.
2019’s winner, Lucy Alderson, took it up a notch as the racing proceeded – finishing up with four out of five race wins.
Rounding out her crew of female Freshy sailors were Ishbel Laing, Rosie Rowell, Sophie Townes, Kate Holling, Lee Evelegh, and none other than seven time Womens State Keelboat Champion, Adele Jackson, resulting in an unbeatable combo sailing out on Freo Waters.
