Seventy-eight boats from fourteen nations will be competing in the 2023 DF95 Global Challenge to be hosted by Fleetwood MYPBC, Fleetwood UK from 12th-19th May.

12 DF95 skippers from Albany, Austin Lakes and Wanderers Radio Sailing clubs, with at least as many supporters, headed to Margaret River for an outstanding weekend of sailing and socializing. Even the weather cooperated (sort of), with the rain holding off.

After a long run of being resigned to the bridesmaid dress at a few Australian Championships, Rosco Bennett has broken through to take out the Australian Marblehead Championships in a fantastic event at Champion Lakes in Perth.

Austin Lakes turned on the sunshine and a steady west south wester for most of today.

As usual there were tree effects and the odd gust from nowhere but the course selected was suited for most of the afternoon.

There were 16 skippers that came down and raced which was an awesome effort and we thank you all for coming.

As you can see by the results there was a good mix of experienced guys and quite a few newer skippers who did a great job keeping up.

Sunday 1 October was the date for the WA DF95 State Championship sailed on Austin Lakes in South Yunderup. A fantastic day's racing closed out a great weekend of DF class racing.
