On what was a rainy day down at the Port Lincoln Yacht Club, the champions in the Teakle Classic Adelaide to Port Lincoln Yacht Race were crowned at the annual race presentation day.

Geoff Boettcher’s Secret Men’s Business continued its great form and was crowned as the IRC handicap champions for the race, which was well sailed by Boettcher and his crew.

Following them closely on IRC was Andrew Corletto’s Shining Sea in second and Jason Ward’s Concubine in third, both of which sailed well in challenging conditions.

The day was also a great opportunity to honour some other achievements, namely Jimmy Howell, who at 95 is still racing in the Adelaide Lincoln, with his stellar team on Vulcan.
