After 13 years, the Skates returned to St George for the Bing Lee 66th Skate National Championship.

Steve Hudson and grandson Bodhi De Freitas from East Fremantle Yacht Club WA, won their third Skate National Championship on their immaculately prepared Skate 945 - End of the Road, also taking home the Veteran Champions trophy.

The guys produced a powerhouse effort, beating the runner's up by 6 points with results including 2 firsts, 1 second and 2 thirds.

Last years winners Greg Paterson and Yianni Foufas from St George were runners up this time around, but were by no means disgraced.

The new St George clubhouse proved itself to be a first class Championship venue, and the club's skilled sailing officials and friendly staff together made this a memorable Skate National Championship.
