The Etchells National and World Championships in January 2025 at the Royal Brighton Yacht Club, are attracting a range of international performers across classes including the most recent Star Class World Champions, John Kostecki and Austin Sperry.
"I am still living a dream," said Sperry. "JK and I jumped back in the star this past May after a 20-year break sailing a star together. Going into the final race of the Worlds there were six boats that had a chance to win the regatta. Fortunately, we sailed a great last race and won the world championship by one point. What a relief!" he exclaimed.
On transitioning from the Star to the Etchells, Austin Sperry said it was an easy choice given the reliability of the class to attract a high quality fleet, with good people, and great sailing.
" The class is super competitive, and I am really enjoying learning a new one-design class. I love being part of a team, with a common goal. It's been a lot of fun thus far and I am excited to give it a go in Melbourne."
It's not too late to join the growing list of entries for what is set to be a competitive but enjoyable regatta at the Etchells World Championship 2025 at the Royal Brighton Yacht Club. There are also a number of lead-in regattas including the Christmas Cup in mid-December, and Pre-Worlds the first week of January 2025. Entries close at the end of November.
