Transfusion won all three state titles and has now collected the clincher, the nine-race national one-design regatta sailed over just two days after horrendous conditions forced yesterday’s racing to be abandoned. This is Belgiorno-Nettis’ fourth national class title.
Second by one point was Lang Walker’s Kokomo (25 points) and third overall and first Corinthian Farr 40 was Andrew Hunn and Lloyd Clark’s Voodoo Chile (26 points) from Tasmania.

Transfusion closes in on Aberdeen Asset Management Australian Championship |
|
 Following today’s series win in the Aberdeen Asset Management NSW State Title, Guido Belgiorno-Nettis and his crew on the prizewinning Sydney based Farr 40 Transfusion are closing in on a clean sweep of the class’ Australian Championship.
First there was the Queensland state titles in October, then the Tasmanian states last month and today the former Farr 40 world champion sailed away with the NSW crown after five races on Sydney Harbour this weekend.
Canadian born tactician Mike Leigh, an Olympic 470 representative, hit the right side of the course and it paid both times, Transfusion claiming the final two race wins.
“It was a lottery today, we stayed right and it worked for us,” said Belgiorno-Nettis dockside at the host club, the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, this afternoon. “Mike Leigh did a fantastic job; we kept our noses clean and got two bullets.”
