2025 JA Linacre Memorial Trophy Victorian State Titles

The JA Linacre Memorial Trophy for the 2025 Victorian State Titles was held at Royal Brighton Yacht Club on 29-30 March as part of their “Empty the Marina” Regatta which celebrated the RBYC’;s 150th Anniversary. ​

Four races were held on Saturday in a strong Southerly of 20 knots plus. Sunday racing was cancelled due to strong winds.

First place went to the father and daughter team on Michael Morrow and Siobahn Dent in J 130 "Balcombe Bay" on 5 points. Second was Steve Wright and crew from Cronulla sailing J115 “Renaissance" were on 13 points and Michael Cantwell and sons Tate and Fred were third in Mudlark on 15 points.

​

Finally, the JYAA added to the RBYC celebrations by displaying the fully restored J1 “Freydis” on the forecourt of the clubhouse over the weekend. Freydis was a real attraction fondly remembered by old sailors and admired by new. It was the efforts of a few volunteers and the investment for both RBYC and JYAA funds plus the donation of critical parts by Ronstan Australia that made this restoration a reality.
