The 2024 Tasar World Championship opened with the practice race at the Sandringham Yacht Club, Melbourne.
The USA pair, Jay and Lisa Renehan took the warm-up victory ahead of the new Australian title champions, Harrison Sly and Zara Challis, with Mahoro Sekiguchi and Ryo Uematsu of Japan third.
So no surprises in the leading group at this stage, although among the early retirements were Rob and Nicole Douglass, winners of the 2019 Worlds when last held in the UK at Hayling Island SC, and sure to feature here.
Championship racing opens with two/three races on Thursday 4 January, with a maximum of 12 races scheduled for the event.
