Oracle Team USA has taken out race 12 of the Americas Cup final this morning to rack up their 4th win of the series, however due to the jury penalty imposed before the series their points total stands at 2 compared to Emirates Team New Zealands 8 in the best of 9 series.

Race 13 has just been postponed for the day due to the wind exceeding the prescribed limit which is significantly reduced due to a strong tidal current, and this has been the pattern of the last few days.

With no further lay days in the AC finals schedule, it will now be a day by day shoot out until the winner emerges, and with Oracles performance seeming to improve each day there’s sure to be more great racing to come. Team NZ, with SLMASC’s Adam Beashel aboard, need just 1 more win to secure the 34th Americas Cup, with Oracle now needing to win all remaining races to secure an unlikely victory.

Remember that you can send Adam and Team NZ your message of support by emailing them directly at:   adam.beashel@slmasc.org

Make sure you catch the awesome sailing action in tomorrow’s racing (6am on Foxtel and You Tube) as Adam and Team NZ fight to make Americas Cup sailing history.

A busy weekend coming up at SLMASC with the first full weekend of racing with the Yachts racing at MPASC again this coming Saturday and the Dinghies starting back at the club on Sunday for the first weekend of the Presdents Trophy Sprint Series.

Updated Yacht start times for the MPASC race this Saturday have been posted on the Yacht page of the website along with final results from last Saturday’s race. It was an encouraging start to the season last weekend and as the weather continues to improve we hope to see some good sized combined fleets racing every week. Make sure that you check the Yacht Sailing Program each week for the host club and race format for the coming weekend.

Yacht owners should also remember to book their boat in for a Category 7 Safety check by calling Doug Wilson on 0411 372 105. The first of two prebooked inspection days is this Sunday 22nd September, and very few boats are booked in at this time. Note that Category 7 inspections need to be completed on or by Saturday 12th October, and with this being the second of the prebooked inspection days it is bound to be heavily booked. Don’t leave your audit to the last minute ,,… contact Doug to book your boat in ASAP..
