ROUND ONE

REBELLION LEADS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP

The first day of competition was notable for the changing conditions, after the first race it oscillated between 7-16 knots.

Rebellion came out of the blocks like lightning, the gear failed but he got first race.

Rebellion Tactician: Paul Wilcox “We’re following the plan but the breeze is tough, clean starts have been key and getting the balance between the tide effects and the shifts is really challenging. Downwind has been all about keeping up the pace and protecting the lead. The good news is the boat is going well and the team is working hard. Its good fun but you can not hide from any mistakes.”

Nick Piper explained the reason: “Gear failure with the jib halyard strop during the starting sequence. We were last across the start line, so it was a battle to win back a few places which we did, well we got Tokoloshe on the last downwind leg.”

Tony Dickin’s Farr designed Jubilee scored to tie on points with Rebellion after three races but was placed second after countback.

Four teams are all on 18 points; Invictus, Girls on Magnum, Tokoloshe II and 42° South.
