The fleet was back racing at Royal Perth Yacht Club for the final Metro series races of 2022. The club put on their annual windward/leeward afternoon, with all other fleets joining in the fun.
A later start and slightly stronger breeze changed things up, but the usual contenders showed us the way – Itinerant was fastest in both races, with Farr Far Away and Farrlap each taking a first on handicap.
Well done to all, and thanks again to RPYC and the start team for a great afternoon.

As detailed in our Notice of Race, the points for these windward/leeward races are averaged for the Metro series. This ensures those who didn’t start are not overly penalised, and that boats can drop the entire day of racing if needed.
