Hot competition occurred on the last leg of the IFAV 2018-19 Traveller Trophy held at Lake Bullen Merri as part of the Yachting Victoria Western Region Easter Regatta. Western Region fireball sailors, not seen recently, participated and led the fun at their home region regatta.
Final results here of the 2018 - 2019 Traveller Trophy
Glenn Peverell, our dedicated IFAV President, took out the trophy through a combination of participation and performance across the season.
Susannah Gillam and Andrew Butler were the only other sailors to have competed across all 4 events in the Traveller's Trophy, making it a great season after their upgrade to "What's the Story...?". They finished tied in 3rd place with Bruno Lanati, Glenn'e regular crew who was absent for Lake Bullen Merri. Sophie Jackson who participated in the two biggest events: Sail Country and the Nationals at Royal Geelong Yacht Club finished in 2nd place after great performances in each.
