Not only was there high class racing but a couple special guests took to the Port Phillip Bay waters including dual Olympian, Krystal Weir sailing on Wicked, and Volvo Ocean Race sailor and 2016 Female Victorian Sailor of the Year, Sophie Cisek sailing on Scarlet Runner.
After a successful four races and some great camaraderie on the water winners for the regatta were decided. Madeleine Linton skippering ‘Bruschetta VI’ took the win overall in AMS, Celia Dymond skippering ‘Jungle Juice’ won the Performance Handicapping division (PHS) and Kirsty Harris took out IRC. Kirsty recapped her team’s racing,
“We had a great time sailing out there; we just focused on the breeze and adjusting the rig and settings accordingly. We also wanted to sail a clean race and to just enjoy sailing together. We had a great group of girls on board. We wanted to say a big thank you to the boat owner, Rob for letting us train and compete in his boat!”
The Port Phillip Women’s Championship Series has seen two races and in so now has current leaders of the series.
