Ten knots got the starting sequence underway, on time and in reverse order, with the Classic Cruisers first away. PRO Jerry Rollin’s race team, worked their way through the order, until the lone Multihull Meitatsu Fukumoto / Seng Huang Lee’s ORMA 60 SHK Scallywag FUKU skippered by David Witt flew across the line, 40 minutes latter. It didn’t take long for them to cut their way through the fleet and as the breeze, backed around to the South West, forcing the IRC fleet into a downwind gybing tussle.
