Estate Master had their best day of the regatta, scoring a 5th and 10th in the final two races of the Rolex Farr 40 Worlds in Sardinia, Italy.

We had a great start in the first race and held a long starboard tack to the favoured left side to be 7th around the top mark. With good placement from tactician Nathan Outerridge, Estate Master picked off another two boats on the next beat.

While we were a small notch off regatta winner Barking Mad and 2nd place getter Nerone in boat speed throughout the regatta, we learnt that we could hold our own against the rest of the fleet when we had clear air.

Skipper Martin Hill said ‘Wonderful, top 10 at the worlds – we’re really happy to have achieved our goal at this regatta. We are aiming to crack the top three next year and to be number one in 2011 when the Farr 40 World Championships are in Sydney.”
