Menace has been declared the winner of Race Day 21 of the Wednesday Night Sailing Series, with a corrected time of 52:12. The victory was a demonstration of tactical sailing, with the winning boat clocking an elapsed time of 57:15.
The race for top honours was a fascinating study in the difference between elapsed and corrected times. Crossfire was the first boat to cross the finish line with a quick elapsed time of 48:18. However, after handicaps were applied, their corrected time of 53:16 saw them finish in fourth place. Airforce was the second boat to cross the line, clocking a time of 56:00, but their corrected time of 53:00 was enough to secure a third-place finish.
The corrected times tell the real story of the night, with Vrengen finishing a close second with a time of 52:15, and Encore rounding out the top five with a corrected time of 53:17. The results highlight how the handicap system can level the playing field, allowing boats of varying sizes and speeds to compete for the win.
