News - Rythymandswing takes 2006 Sunburst Nationals

Congratulations to Brett and Alice Linton (Worser Bay, Wellington) who won the 2006 Sunburst Nationals at Mercury Bay at Easter.

At 8 years old, Alice must be one of the youngest ever national title holders in any class.

This is Brett's third title and is also the third national title for Rythymandswing (1530) which was built by Tim Willets.

Willets also built other successful hulls like defending champion Greg "Bubble" Wright's Embers (1322) ), Nigel Lloyd's Vagrant (1424) and Catch 22.

Brett runs his own sailmaking business www.lintonsails.co.nz in Wellington and made many of the sails in the fleet.

The class association runs a website http://www.sunburst.org.nz/.
