Goodison makes big comeback in Laser today

Sail Melbourne International Regatta - Goodison makes big comeback in Laser today
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA-(13-1-2004) In the 33-strong truly international Laser fleet, many have a point to prove and a number are looking at Olympic selection, which will make for a stoush or two at this Sail Melbourne Olympic & Invited Classes Regatta.

In particular are the two top ranked Great Britain and Australian sailors – all four went at it hard today in their first race out of Sandringham Yacht Club today in fresh 18-22 knot winds today on Port Phillip Bay.

Round one went to a revitalised Paul Goodison (GBR) who recently took a breather from the class. The World ranked No. 3 came out fighting today to win race one from his British adversary, Ed Wright, whose ranking has dropped to 11 - he finished second.

In the Aussie camp, Round one went to World ranked 12th Brendan Casey – he finished third, Michael Blackburn, ranked No. 1 in the World and all but guaranteed the Australian Olympic spot came home fourth.

Come Race 2, the winds gusting to 25 on choppy seas, Casey led the race from Wright, then came Goodison followed by Blackburn – but readers will have to wait till tomorrow to know the result, because the finish line wouldn’t sit still and all four top players are asking for redress.

Racing continues on Port Phillip Bay tomorrow. Results are provisional.
