Martin Hill and the Lisa Rose Team – 2018 Etchells World Champions

Recently our director, Martin Hill and the Lisa Rose crew took out the 2018 Etchells World Championship in Brisbane.

“It was both a thrill and relief to cross the finish line in the final race to win the 2018 Etchells World Championship. Nothing can prepare you for such a competitive 94 boat fleet and a starting line that is 1.2 km in length. It was the combined skill of Julian Plante on Main, Mat Belcher on Tactics, Sean O Rourke on the jib/kite and Michael Blackburn as our coach, that weaved the magic to give us the 17 point winning margin”.
