Three races in 15-20 knots and flat water were sailed today in the Rolex Farr 40 Worlds. Barking Mad from the USA holds a narrow lead from Italians Mascalzone and Joe Fly.

Estate Master scored an 8, 18, 10, with good starts, but we were a tad slow to get to full speed against some fast boats around us and that put pressure on for the remainder of the first beat. EM currently sits in 12th place.

Skipper Martin Hill said “It was a better start to the regatta than we had last year, but we’re looking forward to tomorrow!”

Full results are here.

The Estate Master team have attracted the interest of a film team from the BBC – they came to our Aussie BBQ the other night and are filming us as we leave the dock and return.
