On the 23 November, the fleet was back at South of Perth Yacht Club for Heat 3 of the Metro Series.
In a welcome change from the previous metro race, our usual summer sailing conditions had returned, and the fleet battled in a consistent South-West breeze all afternoon.
Farrlap showed us all the way, taking out second and fastest, with The Black Smoke coming first and Elusive third on handicap.
The conditions resulted in a few equipment breakages and some crew bumps and scrapes, so well done to everyone – a great race!
Thanks to SoPYC for hosting us again.
