Airlie Beach Race Week 2008

3:28pm, Fri 12 Aug 2011 :  Rudder failure costs Treasure viii on day one




Early showers have been called for Treasure viii on day one of racing in Airlie Beach Race Week. After getting a good start in the IRC racing division one, the small local performer rounded mark one in 3rd place. The long stretch to leeward saw kites down as the winds freshened with an Easterly shift. 

After briefly giving up third place on the track to the much fancied Philosophers Club skippered by Peter Sorenson, Treasure managed to skid back to a podium finish position when disaster struck. 

Making way through wind gusts behind Armit Island a steering gear failure ended the small boats chance to complete day one racing. 

At last report local VMR service were towing the boat back to Abel Point Marina.
