“I’m not surprised we’re first; I like to be organised,” the Middle Harbour Yacht Club sailor said.
“We’re coming back because I had so much fun last time we were there (in 2017).”
“We’ve come off a win at the Sydney Harbour Regatta in March, so we’re going to try to continue our winning streak at Airlie Beach, then Hamilton Island and Magnetic Island Race Weeks. ....

Adrian Walters was quick on the draw when entries opened for Airlie Beach Race Week 2021; his fun and fast Rob Shaw 11 Metre design, Little Nico, was the first entry received by the Whitsunday Sailing Club (WSC) and other boats that are speedy on the water closely followed suit.
Walters, from NSW commented, I m not surprised we re first; I like to be organised. We re coming back because I had so much fun last time we were there (2017).
The Middle Harbour Yacht Club sailor can credit his boat manager, Mitch White, for being first in. White, who has been around the sailing scene for a long time, has run Little Nico s boat program for years. ....

Adrian Walters nippy Shaw 11 Little Nico, sailing for the Sydney Harbour Regatta host club, added another victory to their impressive regatta tally on day two of the weekend regatta.
Divisional winners in 2016 and second in 2019 and 2017, Little Nico s domination of the short-course format is well and truly etched in the flagship series annals.
Most of us have sailed together for a few years, Walters said after racing. This year we tried out some new sails and overall we are very happy with the result. Every year we seem to get better and better. The MC38s make us work hard though. Walters has a busy program planned for Little Nico, including Sail Port Stephens in April and the northern regattas in the Queensland Whitsundays later in the year. ....
