John Calvert-Jones Trophy to decide Farr 40 Australian Champion gets underway
Ten Farr 40 crews had their stamina tested on day one of the John Calvert-Jones Trophy, the class nationals being contested this weekend on Sydney Harbour.
Last weekend’s Aberdeen Asset Management NSW State Title seems a distant memory with a polar opposite set of conditions blowing across the race course today. Crew overboard, spinnaker wraps and rips, Chinese gybes and round-ups, bumps and bruises and delaminating sails were all part of the opening day.
After four races starting off the host club, the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, Guido Belgiornio-Nettis’ Transfusion is the leading point scorer thanks to their three wins and a fourth to end the day on seven points.
Full story attached. Apologies for the delay, we wanted to include the video link.
