A view of the start line 10 seconds after the starting gun. With a 12 knot head wind the chosen course gave all
boats a chance to show their elegant classic lines
The Tumlare Sirocco was on the money. She crossed the lime one second after the gun. In the front line mix were
the Tumlarens Snow Goose and Ettrick with Martini close at hand. Fairwinds was all powered up and was soon
take over as fleet leader to the Top Mark. The S&S Sirocco, in her first time racing with the Port Phillip classics,
gave the fleet a brilliant display of why she deemed to be the quintessential classic yacht.. Further back we can see
the Tumlare Avian trying to escape the Ettrick cover while Kingurra was giving due deference to make sure she
wasn’t early for the line. At the pin end, the Folkboat Seabird was all set for a great start but too much speed did
her in. Page 5
