The final Metro Series heat of 2019 was held on the 14th of December back at Royal Perth Yacht Club.
Yet again, the forecast conditions did not eventuate, with a strengthening South-Westerly sea breeze providing some relief from the heat.
Rounding the top mark just ahead of Itinerant, The Black Smoke kept her lead throughout the race, kept honest by Farrlap chasing close behind right up to the finish line.
The Black Smoke was first and fastest, with Frenzy second and Farrlap third. In an excellent recovery from being OCS, Elusive finished 1 second off third place – well done.
For those following, that makes 4 different line honours winners from the 4 races of this season!
