2004 Australian Championship

Many sailors have asked Alan since his outstanding win how he did it. You can see from Alan's article that preparation mentally, physically and attending to perceived weaknesses in skills and boat speed since the Blairgowrie championships all contributed.

This is one of the best insights you will read on what it takes to be champion...noy just in Sabres.

Thanks and well done Alan.

Comments from a non competitor

I would also like to make a comment from a non sailor's point of view regarding the Championships. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and camaraderie of the competitors, spectators and the incredibly hard working group who ran the show!! I felt included even though I knew very little about what was actually happening.

As the mother of Sarah Naismith, I was very reassured about the level of safety and concern for all people out on the water. I would like to compliment everyone involved in the running of the Championships and would like this passed on please. I am looking forward to Lindisfarne!!!
