The 2018 Etchells World Championship began on Moreton Bay in Brisbane, Australia with only one race sailed on the day.
Once the sailors were out past Green Island, there was less of the 8-10 knots from the Sou’east that had blessed the grounds of the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron in Manly, and much, much more of the three knots or less, and from anywhere ranging from 010 to 110 degrees. So it was not surprising at all to see the Answering Pennant hoisted before the midday hour arrived.
The Bermuda team of Tim Patton, Campbell Patton and Rockal Evans sailing Incentive finished 83rd in the day’s race.
