A small monohull fleet turned out for what proved to be a very nice sailing breeze - SE at about 15 knots with occasional stronger squalls.
Blowflies just got the best start, however Space Monkeys and Mainiac both got past up the first work. Space Monkeys maintained a lead of about 100 metres over Mainiac for most of the race with Blowflies suffering from a topping lift problem falling back a bit. After the top mark the last time, Space Monkeys managed a massive wineglass in the spinnaker and Mainiac took advantage taking line honours by ten seconds.
The course was really good for the monos with great angles and fantastic rides.
Pointscore result was Mainiac first, Space Monkeys second and Blowflies third.
Truck was away at the ACT Dinghy Championships. I believe they won all races in some close racing - looks as though they will have firmed as favourites for the States this year.
