We had 14 starters for the "Controlled Innovation" B&SYC State Heat Weekend. Please see progressive (unofficial) results below. We have had 6 different winners from 7 starts and thanks goes to B&SYC for putting on a fantastic weekend. Special mention goes to Matt Neale (sailing with Matt Carter) for winning his first ever state heat and buying this author a celebratory beer (lets hope he wins some more...!).

A retrospective screwball award was given to Pete and Nards for their record breaking capsizing master class at Wallaroo!
