Results for Metro Series heat 1

Another summer sailing season has started, with the fleet racing out of Royal Perth Yacht Club for Heat 1 of the Metro series. The celebration and cheer of last weekend’s RPYC opening day was put aside, with everyone instead bringing their serious “sheepstation racing” faces (and start line approaches!). Thankfully the weather predictions did not eventuate, and the fleet had a clean start in decent breeze.

The Black Smoke tacked off to the northern side of the river, and was rewarded as first round the top mark. They held the lead until the last downwind run, with Elusive avoiding the middle of the river and picking a path just near Squadron and Nedlands Yacht Club. A drop in the wind and lucky shift rewarded the gamble, with Elusive coming home fastest, followed by The Black Smoke and Eufarria in third.

Results for Metro Series heat 9

The final race of the 2022/2023 Metro series was held on 15 April 2023 at RPYC for the Alan Coutts memorial trophy.

Despite the reduced fleet, close competition between our series leaders, Itinerant and Farr Far Away, continued. Fluky winds prevailed throughout the afternoon, with Farr Far Away picking it perfectly and stealing away to finish over 6 minutes ahead of the fleet! A fantastic effort.
