Completing the series on Day 2 of the Asahi Super Dry NSW Country Yachting Championships 2018 the results remain unchanged with no races getting away, after no wind prevented racing to go ahead.
With a friendly rivalry from a Middle Harbour Yacht Club dominated fleet in Division 1, Bob Cox’s Nine Dragons wins the double in both IRC and PHS Divisions after a strong front on day 1 of the event.
2nd placed IRC yacht Khaleesi was hot on Dragon‘s heels and would have been anticipating the lighter winds forecast for today to knock Cox off the top of the tree. Andrew and Pauline Dally and their team brought home 2nd place in both IRC and PHS Division 1.
In 3rd place it was Joe de Kock’s Farr 40 in Good Form yesterday racing to 3rd place in IRC with the help of world renowned Carolijn Brouwer after securing the Volvo Ocean Race winning title in the 2017-18 edition of the race with Dongfeng Race Team.
