You Travel Winter Cruising Race 4

Published 11:39 on 1 Sep 2019

Race 4 and final race in the You Travel winter cruising series got underway on time on Saturday in 13 to 28 knots of Southwest breeze

7 starters got of to variously timed runs for the 11 am start, with Planet X leading the way around the Yellow Gulf Harbour Mark

The wind strength and direction proved to keep crews on their toes with several boats putting in and shaking out reefs at various times around the course

Memphis Toronui and Fastlane enjoyed some close racing at times with Memphis prevailing in the end.

Line honours went to Planet X.

Podium, Shine On 1st

Fastlane 2nd

Synergy 3 3rd

Well done to Keith and the crew of Shine on who took out 1st on the series with consistently good places throughout.

Second on the series was Toronui with Synergy 3 taking third

All in all a successful series with 3 races out of the scheduled 4 sailed
