Yacht Sales Australia Wednesday Series
Six boats braved the conditions on a wet and soggy Wednesday afternoon for the first race of Series 4 for The Yacht Sales Australia Non -Spinnaker Pointscore.
Steve Proud was streets ahead of the small fleet on Swish, taking first place in division one followed by Rob Reynolds on Exile.
It was a close finish for the first 3 competitors in division 2 with Another Dilemma sneaking pass both Stormaway and Renaissance in the last couple hundred metres of the race to come in first.
With only 40 seconds between Jack Stening on Stormaway in second place and Gary Carless on Renaissance third.
