Three sailors from the Wallagoot Lake Boat Club contested the Snowy Mountains Regatta, hosted by the Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club.
Todd Helton raced an old Nacra 16 square in their State Titles, and came third overall. Although he was the only one with an old "pin-top" sail, compared the rivals modern square-top sails, he still won a race and came second among the 16 squares.
