Alex McKinnon was out again to capture the action of day two of the Cup Regatta for the Classic Yacht Association of Australia held on Melbourne’s Port Phillip. This regatta is hosted by Royal Yacht Club of Victoria.

Two races were completed in perfect conditions with winds gradually increasing throughout the day from 10 to 15 knots form a Southerly direction. The first race of the day got under way at 10.00 in about 10 knots. David LeRoy, Principal Race Officer decided to use Course 8, which ended up being shortened. Race 3 was won by Fair Winds II skippered by Mark Chew, with line honours going to Kingurra skippered by Ian MacFarlane and Kevin Bailey.



Race 4 got underway at 13:20 in around 15 knots. Course 11 was selected with a distance of 7.6NM. This race was won, on corrected time, by Martini skippered by Michael Willia and Ross Clark. Martini is the current leader by two points of the 2017 Cup Regatta. Kingurra skippered by Ian MacFarlane and Kevin Bailey is coming second and Mercedes III and Fair Winds II are both a further 5 points behind. So racing on the last day will be very tight.

For all the results go to the Classic Yacht Association of Australia’s website.
