Skate 2025-26 NSW State Championship Decided
Date: November 2025 - Source: G Halliday
Sean Leonard and Matt Couch with Geoff Hughes on 986 Last Tango are the 2025-26 Season Skate NSW State Champions.
The State Championship was conducted over two weekends in November 2025.
The St George Regatta, comprised of Heats 1 & 2 was held Saturday 15 November with Ray Simpson & Peter Howard of St George on 980 Double Decker Dog taking out the Lackey Family Perpetual Trophy for the Regatta.
A Skate Sailors Reunion held in conjunction with the St George Regatta was a well attended and popular event.
The Yarra Bay Cup, comprised of Heats 3 & 4 was held Sunday 23 November with Geoff Hughes & Sean Leonard of St George on 986 Last Tango winning the Basil Wood Perpetual Trophy for the regatta. Sean was particularly chuffed with the result, having previously won the same event 43 years ago!
It was great to have a number of past Skate Sailors at Yarra Bay to reminisce on the period in the 1970's and 80's when the club hosted an enthusiastic and successful Skate fleet.
The State Championship results were close with 980 Last Tango just beating the eventual State Pointscore winners Mick Winney and Emma Edwards of St George on 977 Take It Easy.
Full results of the State Championship are available on the Reports & Articles page on this website.
