Belcher and Page unstoppable

NSWIS sailor Malcolm Page continues to dominate the men’s 470 class after another win with skipper Mat Belcher at the 2011 Australian 470 Championships in Brisbane.

Belcher and Page won a remarkable eight of 10 races at the regatta to secure their place atop the podium, the 10th year in a row that either of the dominant duo has been part of the winning crew.

The victory was the pair’s third in a row and provided an excellent warm up to the upcoming round of the 2010/11 ISAF Sailing World Cup in Spain.

Fellow NSWIS athlete Will Ryan continued his rise in the 470 class, taking second position with Sam Kivell. The youngsters recorded top three finishes in eight of the 10 races to secure silver and help them prepare for their next competition in Europe.
