After the pile up (which resulted in a few protests being heard after racing), the westerly wind caught up to the fleet and sent the fleet up the course, reports came in from around the race track of first 6kts then a few minutes later 14kts. The first boat to cross the finish line at Hung Hom was J/80 Footloose at 15h 58m 12s with all boats finished racing by 16h 33m 10s. Today’s race was also designated as the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club Bart’s Bash 2017 – “the biggest sailing event in the world”. Bart’s Bash is a global charity fund-raising sailing race taking place at 100s of venues, with 1000s of Bart’s Bash 2017 – “the biggest sailing event in the world.” 22
