Topsy turvy battle at Audi Hamilton Island as Black Jack bounces back in race 3

23/08/2009

The battle for bragging rights in the Grand Prix division at Audi Hamilton Island took another twist this afternoon as Peter Harburg's RP66 Black Jack bounced back from last place this morning to take line honours by 76 seconds from Alan Brierty's very consistent RP 63 Limit, with this morning's winner Wild Oats third.

On handicap, consistency is paying off for Rob Date's RP 52 Scarlett Runner II as she leads the series by a single point from Graeme Wood's Wot Now, with Limit in third place. However a port/starboard protest involving these two boats could change the result.

Provisional handicap winner this afternoon was Limit, from Black Jack and Ray Roberts Evolution Racing.
