Congratulations to Kingurra taking out the Race 3 corrected time and line honours. Taking every wind shift and fast kite pops were features of her race. For the best sail and best looking boat of the day you can’t go past Dingo. Under the firm hand of RMYS Club Captain Monica Jones, Jim Hutchinsons Tumlaren Dingo on her first race of the series, was a treat to watch. Particularly on her second time run down to RMYS Mark D. Congratulations to Dingo. Congratulations to Craig Browns team on Cyan for their acceptance of a sad but true story. More coments on notable Race 3 performances across the fleet will follow. Your Handicapper

To claims to the best start of the race Zephyr and Fair Winds Watching Kingurra clear out from the fleet makes their claim a question. Best looking start was by Merlin. Too bad no photo’s of Merlins fine looking bow throwing out water on her way to giving Marie Louise III a hurry up.

First over the finish honours went to Cam Smith on Manu KaRere. Using spinakkers was the secret that kept them out of the clutches of a hard chasing Marie Louise III. Best time on the course honours went to Mercedes III. Again flying a kite was the key to her pipping Boambillee by 20 seconds for the fastest on course time. Corrected times honours based on actual on course times were used for the Marie Louise III trophy calculations. Best corrected times were Manu Ka Rere, Marie Louise III and Bungoona.

2018 Cup Regatta Tony Blake Trophy status. 

Corrected time congratulations to Cyan, Manuka Rere and Ettrick. Frances took out line honours, An easterly shift to her local north wind sent Frances 10 degrees off the rhumb line and to the end wrong end of St. Kilda break water. Cost her the 5 minutes to make a podium finish. Most of the following fleet were knocked down from the Rhumb but nowhere as bad as Frances. Sometimes the fleet leaders don’t get the breaks. The smart money was on Ettrick and Avian who tacked early after the last rounding mark and pick off Snow Goose with the northerly shift. Martini almost laid the mark.
Manuka Rere is leading the series aggregate with Dingo up front in the consistency. Martini and Ettrick are dead heating in the Cup Regatta Tony Blake aggregate
