Rosebud Yacht Club
Notable Achievements
Rosebud Yacht Club, Hall of Fame
Throughout the years, Rosebud Yacht Club has produced a number of sailors who have featured on the podium across a range of events. This has been as a result of the club always pursuing mixed fleet racing, where it isn’t about ‘first past the post’, rather about pushing for every little advantage you can get. Because even though you might be in front, you can never be sure you are winning by enough. Here are some of the highlights:
Geoff Fiske
Hobie 18 Worlds (2nd), Hobie 18 Nationals (1st)
Sarah Hollands
Hobie 18 Worlds 2005 (3rd)
Ross Purcell
2 time single handed winner of F16 class, 2018 and 2021, Victorian Nacra states (3rd)
Sean Purcell
Victorian Nacra states (2nd)
