AUSTRALIAN AGAIN TOPS THE DAY

The performance of Richard Perini's Foreign Affair in the past two days has been almost immaculate. His scoreline on the two days reads 2-1-1-1, and the way in which he and his crew have performed would point to their control of this class when the wind is anything over ten knots.

Foreign Affair's starts have been solid not startling, but upwind Perini appears to be the master of this class and it is the blue spinnaker of his boat that is first to appear at the weather mark with outstanding regularity. Chasing him hard in the first race of the day was Nick Morrell's Warp Factor VI. The British boat finished the two round windward/leeward course with 1.9 mile legs just 25 seconds behind Foreign Affair with Thomas Papenek's Fuzzy Logic the same distance behind.

Warp Factor VI was very aggressive on the start line for the second race, too aggressive it appeared when she was recalled along with one other boat. Foreign Affair was not one of the early leaders, but she was first to the weather mark, just ahead of Andy Roy in Fred Sherratt's Steadfast.

Fuzzy Logic came into the reckoning on the second leg, passing Steadfast, but these two changed places again shortly after the start of the run, but once more Fuzzy Logic was slightly faster upwind and took second place 14 seconds behind Foreign Affair and 11 seconds ahead of Steadfast.
