Strong winds sweeping across Sydney Harbour forced race officials to reduce Wednesday’s racing program in the 2022 JJ Giltinan 18ft Skiff Championship from the scheduled two races, to one race, sailed over a specially designed storm course.
Once again, it was the strong Andoo team of Seve Jarvin, Matt Stenta and Sam Newton which proved to be the master of the conditions to record its third consecutive win from the three races sailed so far and leads the championship with a perfect score of three points.
Tech2 of Jack Macartney, Charlie Wyatt and Lewis Brake also continued her consistency with three consecutive second placings behind Andoo, and only trails by three points in the overall standings.
Rag & Famish Hotel of Harry Price, Josh McKnight and Harry Hall finished in third place.
Fisher & Paykel (Jordan Girdis) finished strongly over the final two legs of the course to come home in fourth place, ahead of Yandoo (John Winning) and Queensland’s C-Tech (Dave Hayter).
