As Australian 40 Owners Association president Guido Belgiorno-Nettis said, there could not have been a better finish to the inaugural Aberdeen Asset Management Farr 40 Tasmanian Championship which ended on Hobart’s River Derwent today.
Sailing Transfusion, the former Farr 40 world champion from Sydney surfed to victory before an 18 knot seabreeze in the final race, with series leader Voodoo Chile, helmed by Hobart yachtsman Lloyd Clark, third across the line.
Transfusion’s win levelled the pointscore and it also gave the Sydney yacht the vital total of three wins to two by the Hobart boat.
