Wadley’s sailing success
IT was yet another school holiday full of sailing for the Wadley siblings as they once again took to the seas.
IT was yet another school holiday full of sailing for the Wadley siblings as they once again took to the seas.
The first regatta they participated in was Sail Airlie at the Whitsunday Sailing Club over the Easter long weekend.
Breanne Wadley won the Sabot division, sailing her boat Breezy as she breezed through the competition winning eight out of the thirteen races over the three days of competition.
Travis came second in the North Queensland Laser Championships in a hotly contested Laser Radial fleet with competitors travelling from Sydney to attend.
After the regatta, Travis and Breanne attended the two-day Talent Search training camp hosted by the Queensland Academy of Sport.
Travis then competed at the Queensland State Laser Championships at the Port Denison Sailing Club in Bowen, with 79 lasers competing in the three-day event Travis sailed well and came away with the U19 Division State Championship Title, he won two of the seven races over the three days and placed third overall.
Breanne has taken a step further as she has been asked to do a coaching session at the O'pen Skiff Regatta in Sydney at the end of the school holidays.
