Lincoln Crowne & Company - Strategy Mergers Acquisitions

The Lincoln Crowne Foundation commenced sponsoring Thai Ngoc Bich in December 2011, as part of an ongoing relationship with Blue Dragon Children’s Fund.

Bich, aged 21 in 2012, studies Business Management at Da Nang’s Phuong Dong College. Previously, she lived in the Hoi An Children’s Home for 6 years. Bich will finish her studies in June 2012 and plans to then work for a year before returning to study in order to attain a higher qualification.

With the help of LCF's sposorship, Bich is able to work towards her goal of finishing her studies this year, and look forward to a more prosperous and exciting future.

Lincoln Crowne & Company was pleased to see some great results and spectacular sailing across the two weekends of the LCC NSW 12FT Championships - 26th & 27th November & 3rd & 4th December 2011. The State Titles ran over six heats and doubled as the selection series for the Interdominion Championships. Starting at the historic Lane Cove 12ft Skiff Sailing Club, the event moved to Abbotsford 12ft Skiff Sailing Club. The following weekend, Woollahra Sailing Club hosted the final three heats.

Going into the Championships, 2010 Interdominion Champions Nick Press and Brad Yabsley in Dimension Polyant were the favourites but were expected to be pushed hard by last year’s big improver Adam Forbes in D-Unit and by former NSW Champion Brett Hobson in Garde.

The event didn’t fail to excite skiff enthusiasts and amateur watchers alike, and Nicholas Assef (Executive Director, LCC) was so very proud to have sponsored the event in 2011 – a display of true sportsmanship, skill and agility in the ever-unpredictable weather conditions that Sydney gave the crews over the two weekends.

The final results saw Dimension Polyant with their 3rd consecutive State Championships, Garde placing 2nd and Skoll 3rd. Geotherm picked up the handicap from Skoll, for their consistent improvements through the first half of the season.

1^st Dimension Polyant, Lane Cove 12ft Sailing Skiff Club Nick Press & Brad Yabsley
