- Sail Melbourne 2022 was very much a local event.
The days of long distance travel to these Olympic class regattas were already on the wane before the Covid-19 Pandemic.
The latest Aussie tennis row has highlighted the fact that even such well rewarded events have their problems and that Athlete dispensations can be tricky things to get right.
But, while here in Europe we struggle to get international and even local racing back on track, the Australian sailors were able to enjoy some keen racing, and Sail Melbourne is more than just the Olympic classes.
Stand-out performances by Matt Wearn, nine wins in the ILCA 7, Grae Morris with nine wins on the iQFOiL and Laura Harding and Annie Wilmot with a consistant score-line in the 49erFX.
