Congratulations to Campbell and Stirling McKay, Australian National Champions!
Campbell and Stirling started the day trailing Damian Carey and Austin Freer by five points, with a maximum of three races to be sailed.
In the first race of the day, they started with an emphatic bullet, but Damian and Austin claimed second, meaning they still held a four point lead.
In the second race, Campbell and Stirling came first again, but this time Damian and Austin came fifth. This meant that scores were now tied, but Team McKay won on a countback.
And so, we have new national champions. It was an emotional night for Campbell. As he said at the prize-giving dinner, "In 1978, I had a little dream..."
