Race 8 Finale: Full Recall, Big Breeze, No Holding Back!
The final race on the Bravo Course at Fremantle Sailing Club's Sail Freo Weekend delivered plenty of excitement, with a strong breeze testing sailors right from the start.
The race began with the combined ILCA 4, ILCA 6 and ILCA 7 fleets, but an eager fleet saw too many boats over the line, resulting in a dramatic full fleet recall and a restart for the ILCAs.
Meanwhile, the powerful 505 fleet was first away cleanly, followed by the Nacra 15 and F18 catamarans, taking full advantage of the fresh conditions. Once restarted, the ILCA fleets got underway and settled into another hard-fought race as competitors pushed for every position in the final contest of the regatta.
With strong winds, close racing and plenty on the line, Race 8 provided a fitting finale to an outstanding Sail Freo Weekend. From the tactical battles of the ILCA fleets to the speed and excitement of the 505s, Nacra 15s and F18s, the Bravo Course delivered spectacular sailing right to the finish.
