Escapade had an unmeasured mainsail, so relinquished the trophy to Pretty Woman.
The Sav, Savoir Faire got the Line Honours win in the cruising with kites.

Really good to see some ORCV stalwarts like Pretty Woman and Magic in the table.
Escapade performed really well and got a win in PHS, which is not a measured class and therefor their sail did not influence anything. Must be all their efforts as participants in the MWS that paid off.

Republica got Line Honours for the non-kites, but San Miguel got the wine for the handicap win.
Yep. More soon (and you know it!). Maybe even winners are grinners, but I need a drink.

The Colts (Sydney 38s) are having their own fight within the battle - many thanks to Ullman Sails for providing the prize. |

We'll be seeing the team at Geelong, pretty soon indeed. |

Thank you to Monica Tonner and Richard Hunter from SYC for ensuring Steb had a ride and we, therefore, have all that imagery, which just seems to go down an absolute treat. |

It is with thanks to our friends at PredictWind that we've been able to supply such detailled information throughout the entire 2010 MWS. |
