For the last Metro races of the year, the fleet was hosted by Royal Perth Yacht Club for an afternoon of windward/leeward racing. As has been the trend this season, the forecast was discarded and the fleet started in a gusty south-easterly. Elusive continued their strong form, and took the first race finish line ahead of Itinerant in second and Lionheart in third place. In the second race, The Black Smoke stayed on easterly side of course early and was rewarded. They were then hunted, with Elusive taking the lead on the last kite run and coming home first again. Itinerant was second and The Black Smoke finished third over the line.
Thanks to the start team, volunteers and RPYC for giving us a great afternoon racing and something different from our usual round-the-bay courses.
