Congratulations to Garry Williams from Wagga Wagga for his win in the 2012 Paper Tiger Nationals.

This years event was held between the 3rd and 8th of January at Mannering Park Sailing Club situated on the southern end of Lake Macquarie NSW.

A top national fleet competed in very challenging light and fluky conditions.

Tasmania had two helmsmen represented. Bruce Rose (LYC) was defending his 2011 title win while Steve Price (LYC) was making his first PT national appearance.

Bruce battled equipment failure during the first part of the series finishing strongly to pick up 9th place. Steve sailed well to finish 25th and pick up the ‘Rookie of the Year’ award. Well done to both sailors.
