皮特沃特帆船赛回顾：多变的海风、激烈的冲刺和本土的胜利

Race control at Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club executed three course changes under an AP signal as light, shifty inshore winds forced a late-morning rethink; offshore plans on the Palm Beach Circle were kept ready for the scheduled 11:30am start for windward/leeward races should conditions stabilise.

ORC Championship: race-by-race rundown

ORC fleets completed two inshore races today after a patient wait for wind direction to settle. Corrections on elapsed times tightened the leaderboard in several divisions, with local knowledge proving decisive in the fickle 5–15 knot breeze range.

Division 1

Consistency paid for Crazy Diamond (John Bacon), which repeated its Race 1 victory in Race 2, finishing ahead of Seeking Alpha (David Hamilton) and LCE Old School Racing (Mark Griffith). Race 3 again saw Crazy Diamond 和 Seeking Alpha lead, while Daguet 2 (Rob Aldis / Peter Byford) moved into third — consolidating Crazy Diamond and Seeking Alpha at the top of the overall standings with one day to sail.

Division 2

Justified (Tomas Simpson / Andrew Lygo), the J/111, turned a second-place yesterday into a win in Race 2 after a scoring correction. Veloce (Garry Essex, J/99) and Organised Chaos (Garry Gudmunson) rounded out the podium. Race 3 swung back in favour of Organised Chaos, giving Gudmunson a series lead by 6.5 points over Justified. Notable placings included KD4 (Joe De Kock) and last year’s winner Local Hero (David Davies).

Super 40 local showdown

The Super 40 class faced the same delay as the ORC fleet but produced spirited local contests once clear air arrived. Revolver (Michael Ritchie) won the opener by over two minutes, followed by 安第斯神鹰 (Ross Hennessy) and Bushranger (Gerry Hatton). Ritchie then claimed Race 2 from Black Sparrow (Peter Higgins), with 安第斯神鹰 third. The Super 40 field showcased nine classy yachts and demonstrated how local tuning and last-minute rig returns can still deliver strong results.
