Results for Metro Series heat 7

We returned to South of Perth Yacht Club for heat 7 of the Metro series. Elusive continued their great performance from last race, trading the initial lead back and forth with Farr Far Away. An unexpected pickup in the wind beyond the forecast favoured Itinerant, who overtook the fleet. , and despite some quick sail changes, the others couldn’t catch them. Farr Fetched pursued the leaders closely, coming home first on handicap, with Itinerant taking line honours.

Thanks as always to South of Perth for hosting us, and for the usual great hospitality at results. See you again next season!

Metro heat 6 had the fleet back sailing at Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club. A warm day and lighter breeze presented  some interesting challenges, with Farr Fetched heading out to a early lead and first round the top mark. Elusive got to grips with their brand new headsail, chasing down Farr Fetched and then spending the rest of the race battling with Farr Far Away. Farrlap accelerated through the fleet to eventually take third over the line, behind Farr Far Away in second place and Elusive first and fastest.

Thanks to RFBYC for hosting us, and we look forward to coming back in April.

Results for Metro Series heats 4 & 5

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.
