With a strong 10 knot north-east breeze, Sunday sailed by as Balmain’s orange skiff, with a torn spinnaker, fought its way across Sydney Harbour.
Fighting for the championship trophy, it was a close call between the two leading skiffs, however, in the end, Tech2 dominated the race over Yandoo easily becoming the 2021-2022 NSW 18ft Skiff Champion.
With persistence and strength, despite the torn spinnaker, the Balmain skiff placed position 10 across the finish line. This resulted in moving up 2 ranks, from position 12 last week, to settle into position 10 in the overall NSW Championship results.
Congratulations go to Tech 2, the winner of NSW Championship 2021/2022.
Next Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 February sees the the start of the Australian Championship.

Earlier this month I sat down with Michael Bleby, Deputy Property Editor at the Australian Financial Review (AFR).

Our recent ‘Conversations with Balmain’ evening was held at the Riverine Club in Wagga Wagga.

Balmain was proud to come on board as a new sponsor of this year’s Gears and Beers Festival in Wagga Wagga, a long-standing community event celebrating cycling and craft brewing in the heart of the Riverina.
