Brand new Petticrows Dragons take first and second place in the Melbourne World Championship

The new World Champions Lawrie Smith, Ossie Stewart and Tim Tavinor snatched victory in the final race from Marcus Weiser’s team in Bunker Queen by the slenderest of margins.

The UK team managed to take a place on the finish line of the final race enabling them to tie on points with Wieser and take the championship on count back.

Tim Tavinor the Director of Petticrows, was doubly pleased as the first two placed boats were sent to Melbourne straight off the production line and had never been sailed prior to arriving in Melbourne.
