Alex McKinnon's images from the WISC series.

Photographer Alex McKinnon was out on Melbourne's Port Phillip for the WISC series, which forms part of the Port Phillip Women's Championship Series. It was hosted by Sandringham YC and the short course was run right out the front of the club on the Eastern shore of the Bay. Light conditions prevailed with up to 10 knots from 180 to 200 degrees, and on a short range of 0.5nm. The fleet spent time under the AP, before getting away and managing to get four races in.
