51st Australian Multiclass Nationals

Benalla Gld, Australia,   7 January 2013 – 18 January 2013

Day 2

Day 2's forecast brought promise of a classic post-frontal Benalla day - low convection and windy but reliable and with an early cut-off as the southerlies funnelled up through the Nillahcootie gap. CUs were popping even before briefing so the fleet was marshalled early, planning for first launch at 12:15 and a straightforward speed task to give the pilots a bit of reprieve after yesterday's challenging day.

The Open and 18m classes launched first for a 330km task, but the Standard and 15m fleets were held back waiting for the launch zone to clear and then finally cancelled when the winds failed to abate as much as expected.

There were three engine starts and one outlanding at Wangaratta but most pilots had a solid day, with Shinzo Takizawa taking out the Open class and an unexpected win by Ben Loxton in the 18m class with 106.9km/h.
