Day 1 Etchells Nationals - Master V Apprentice

Skip Lissiman leads the 2007 Slam Australian Etchells Championship with a 2, 1 scorecard. In the second race of the day Lissiman and team came from 26 seconds behind John Bertrand to win. According to Sail-World it was an "America's Cup" style match race to the finish with the former apprentice beating his former master to the line. Don't you love the way these guys try and talk it up!

Last years champion Rob Brown has had a slow start with a 19th & 4th. My prediction of Andy Beadsworth coming up with the goods also looks sketchy (8th & 12th). But it is early days yet.
