Wow, what a spectacular start to the 22nd Three Peaks Race!
The ten boats are now out in Bass Strait heading for Flinders Island (only 90 something nautical miles to go!)
Saw some extremely close racing in the battle to the heads- Terry won by a very small margin from Nick's Haphazard - he interestingly used his asymmetrical kite on the pole to come back after having to re-start - good improvisation Nick.
Team Whistler was third out after a fantastic sail, beating a lot of much bigger and theoretically faster boats! Great teamwork from those guys.
Don't Panic Racing had a gun start- pity it was just a little too early.
This small fleet is going to produce some top quality racing.
We are now off to Flinders ourselves - check back tonight for further updates and PICS!!
