In a competitive fleet the fight for top spot went down to the last day, with the very successful custom design Ngoni needing to make up 3 points over the last two races, but Soozal with Robbie Haines doing tactics looked rock solid and finished the day strongly for a series lead of seven points, counting a first or second in nine of the 10 races. “The racing was super hard all week. It was a dogfight every day and we were lucky to have Robbie, who is just a master at calling the shifts. You can have the fastest boat in the world, but it doesn’t matter if you’re on the wrong side of the course,” said Woolery.
Elsewhere the unstoppable Ray Roberts in the DK 46 Quantum Racing has added the 2009 Langkawi crown to his record streak in Asian regattas, and two DK 46’s finished in the top 5 of the Audi IRC Series at Skandia Geelong Week in Australia.
