The second Metro series race was held at the Royal Perth Yacht Club, racing for the Max Hayes memorial trophy. With the threat of rain and blustery conditions, crews were kept on their toes. Itinerant strode out to an early lead, however some impressive equipment failure had them in management mode, and they were quickly overtaken.
The Black Smoke made it first around North Point Walter, and managed to keep the lead, despite persistent chasing by a very close fleet. Farr Far Away overtook Itinerant just metres before the line, to finish second, with The Black Smoke coming home first and fastest.
