Josh credited their performance to his crew, Jarrah, who helped them tack quickly, sail fast, and have a faultless race.

It also seems that the previous week’s sailing in Canberra’s tricky winds helped, as they found Wallagoot’s relatively stable winds easy to navigate, while other sailors found the shifts and gusts confusing.

The results show that they were also the fastest monohull around the course in race two, suggesting they would have won if had been a pointscore race.

Second in race one was Ian Wood with his new mainsail, followed by Terry Ubrihien using a new trapeze harness.

In race two, Sian Morton finished second, ahead of Ian Wood.

This Saturday, the morning training session will be followed by two pointscore races.
