The fleet sailed out of Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club for Heat 7 of the Metro series. Elusive took an early lead in a shifting and patchy breeze. The rest of the fleet jostled for places, but once the sea breeze arrived in force, traditional upwind tactics and preferences paid off for the chasing boats. Elusive finished fastest and third, beaten on consistency by The Black Smoke in first and Lionheart second.
Thanks to RFBYC for hosting us! It was great to have all place getting skippers up on the lawn for their presentations and we all look forward to racing with you again next season.
