Some of Australia’s best sailors took to the waters off Altona Beach last week for the Arrow and Mosquito Class National Titles.
More than 45 boats travelled from across the country to compete in the regatta from January 5 to 10.
Among the winners were Hobsons Bay locals and father-son duo, Shannon and Jack Wilson, who took out the Mosquito Sloop Division in their boat Taboo.
Having won his first national titles with his father Robert, this time Shannon teamed with his 10-year -ld son Jack to claim another championship, more than 30 years after his first.
Altona Yacht Club Commodore Paul Lindemann said he was proud of the effort club members put into hosting the event.
“It was a great regatta,” he said.
“I want to thank especially our canteen volunteers, our shore crew helping sailors launch and our powerboat crews on start and rescue boat.”
Altona Yacht Club is hosting training days for those wanting to take up sailing each Saturday morning from February 1 to April 5.
