Heats 4 and 5 of the Metro series were a little different this year, with Royal Perth Yacht Club hosting us for two afternoon windward/leeward races, along with the Etchell, BW8, S80 and S97 fleets.
As always is the way in this fleet, the races were closely contested, with kites (mostly) going up and down without issue and the crews (mostly) staying safe and in one piece. The change from our usual Saturday river courses gave everyone some practice for next years States, and made for exciting afternoon racing. While some could perhaps do with some more practice before then, others just showed us all why they’re at the pointy end of the series results.
Well done to everyone and great work from Itinerant and Elusive for taking fastest in the two heats respectively!
A special thanks to the race management team and safety boat crew – with regular fleet racing earlier in the day, it made for a pretty long day for our fantastic volunteers, so thanks for staying out there for us.
