Skandia Geelong Week is all but officially wrapped up for another year and it was another resounding success which broke all records. The competition was tight on the water with many of the series results coming down to the wire.
Congratulations to all winners at the event, especially Living Doll winner of the Audi IRC Series Division 1, the last time a Victorian yacht won the overall event was back in 2002 with Lou Abrahams’ Another Challenge.
The media coverage on the event was expansive with newspapers in Spain, TV coverage in Asia, websites in Uruguay plus photographers from the USA and Scotland.
The trophy presentation will be held at the Royal Geelong Yacht Club on Sunday 8th February at 1pm. Series place getters will be notified by email with further details.
