Jasmin Kelly of Southport Yacht Club Outrigger in Australia talks about their win at the Gold Coast Cup in Australia. Congratulations Ladies!"Southport Yacht Club Outriggers (SYCO) proved on Saturday 12th April that they have closed the gap on Mooloolaba Outrigger Canoe Club since last season, winning the 12th Annual Gold Coast Cup with a four minute lead.
"After coming second in this race last year and second in the Burleigh Point Regatta two weeks ago by only two seconds, we were ready to take the line first," said Southport Yacht Club Outrigger Jasmin Kelly.
"This win has really set us up for the rest of the season and ultimately the Hamilton Island Cup," she said.
SYCO Open Womens team won in 3hrs 7mins and 35sec, four minutes ahead of Mooloolaba 1 with SYCO Secretary Shandy Danford-Spittle steering Mooloolaba 2 to a third place win.
A mixed team from SYCO also competed in the Gold Coast Cup placing third, however disqualified as they had eleven paddlers instead of the allowed nine.
"We had eleven paddlers as there were a number of novice paddlers who wanted to have a go with our experienced paddlers; they had a great time," said Past Southport Yacht Club Outrigger President Amanda Kennealy.
The thirty-three kilometre race started off Greenmount Point before heading north along the Gold Coast beach line past Surfers Paradise to the Gold Coast Seaway for a flat-water dash in the Broadwater to the finish line at Southport Spit."
