2. Tag bei den australischen Meisterschaften

Race 3
The Doctor had arrived and we had a solid 15-20 knots for Race 3. It
was a clean start
with all boats seeming to hit the line with speed. The first work
saw boats attaching to
the left side of the course, with the odd boat taking advantage of
the shifts. The top five
series leading where fighting for the top 4 places after the first
triangle. Ross Brennan
showed great improvement biting the heal of the leading five. 1st
Jono Neate, 2nd Paul
Green, 3rd Matt Hosie, Chris Sutherland 4th.
Race 4
The wind had clocked left 10 degrees and increased to 20 – 22 knots.
John Cassidy and Ross Brennan nailed the start at the pin and took
an early lead. By the windward return Jono had opened up a lead, but
managed an ugly jibe which resulted in a swim and put him back in
the leading pack. A close finish saw Jono Neate 1st , Paul Green 2nd
and John Cassidy 3rd.Chris Sutherland broke a halyard lock when
coming 2nd and was unable to finish. Luckily he only missed
One race and not two.
