VX One Winter Nationals at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron - Day 1

by Mitch Pearson 8 Jun 2019 15:56 EST 8-9 June 2019

Three races utilising a new short course format were completed today in shifty 0 5 knot south westerly winds on Waterloo Bay. A good start was imperative with each race consisting of only one windward leeward on a 0.5 nm course.

Seventeen boats started with Supervax 24/7 coming out on top in all three races with current Aussie Champion Mack One playing the bridesmaid each time, narrowly getting pipped on the line in race one.
