Sailing

The Scotch College 1st VII sailing team travelled to Hobart during the holidays to defend their national title. 24 schools from around Australia competed and again the standard of sailing was very high. For the 2nd year running it would be Scotch College V St Joseph's (SA) to compete in the final. Unfortunately St Joseph's were too good this year and Scotch finished 2nd.
