The Australian SailGP boys had a solid start to the Moth Worlds in Perth with Tom Slingsby taking the Australian Championship/Worlds warm-up event.
Scott Babbage finished second, tied on 9 points with Slingsby, and Kyle Langford completed the podium with 13 points.
Britain’s Rob Greenhalgh picked-up a couple of race wins to finish fifth, 3 points behind fourth placed Matthew Chew.
From there it was all Aussie until Brad Funk of the USA took 11th place.

The racing on the final day was brought forward to beat the heat and it will be interesting to see if that is continued for the Worlds.
