Airforce has extended its dominant streak in the Wednesday Night Sailing series, securing a fourth consecutive victory with a clinical performance on Race Day Five.
The crew of Airforce set the pace from the outset, becoming the first boat to cross the line with a sharp elapsed time of 59:50. Even after the handicaps were applied, their corrected time of 56:37 proved untouchable, keeping them firmly at the summit of the leaderboard.
The battle for the remaining podium spots was a closely fought affair between Scatteraction and Passion. Scatteraction was the second vessel to complete the course, clocking an elapsed time of 1:00:40. Their corrected time of 57:25 was enough to secure the runner-up spot for the evening.
Passion followed closely behind, crossing the line third in 1:00:54. A corrected time of 57:38 ensured they rounded out the top three, narrowly missing out on the second spot in a tactical night on the water.
The depth of the fleet was on full display as the mid-table contenders pushed for position. Menace claimed fourth place with a corrected time of 58:31, while Tiburon produced a steady performance to round out the top five finishers with a corrected time of 59:15.
