After several days of bad weather which forced the temporary abandonment of three races, the scheduled Race 7 of the 2022 JJ Giltinan 18ft Skiff Championship on Sydney Harbour, as well as Race 6 from Wednesday.
Once again the Andoo team of Seve Jarvin, Matt Stenta and Sam Newton proved invincible as its record now extends to an unbeaten run of five straight victories from the five races sailed so far.
With just four more races still to be sailed before the regatta concludes on Sunday, Andoo has a commanding lead over the nearest rival, Tech2 of Jack Macartney, Charlie Wyatt and Lewis Brake, and looks to have a strangle-hold on the 2022 title.
First up was race 7, where Andoo took the lead from the start and was never headed over the entire course before going on to a 13s victory over an impressive Balmain Slake of Henry Larkings, Max Paul, Flynn Twomey.
Tech2 a finished a further 8s back in third place.
Then it was the re-scheduled race 6, with Andoo coming from behind before going on to a 46s victory over the Western Australian Black Swan team of Luke Paarkinson, Grant Rollerson and Luke Payne
Yandoo of John Winning, Fang Warren and Mike Kennedy a further 51s back in third place.
