From our PRO on the day, Mike Dunne:
Brilliant, bright and beautiful… The only way to describe another special morning on Sydney Harbour.
An amazing and interesting 45 degree oscillating westerly kept everyone on their toes for the three races. There was a good outgoing tide, variable wind from 10 to 20 knots building as the morning went on, with more pressure lanes on the right, and more consistent shifts to the left. So.. Not a soldiers course.
There were 13 boats in total, with an even split across the two fleets. No visitors on the day, just the local legends. Some first time and deserved winners on the day.
It was challenging conditions and watching the racers trying to negotiate the best outcome by prioritising one of the three options at any time was interesting. The snakes and ladders even at different times on the same leg made the event a winner.
The race management team of Mike Dunne, Yves Stenning, Thomas Beregi and Andrew Foote worked to set the best course for the conditions, the great news it was the same for everyone and the racing was good, with mixed results across both fleets.
The winners for the day were…
