Georgia One takes Race 6 honours as four-boat BOISW Racing A series finale wraps up

The final race of the Racing A series, Race 6, was reduced to a four-boat contest after Explore Racing retired following a course naming mix-up that ended their day early. The racing that remained was clean and decisive, playing out between Wired, Equilibrium, Georgia One, and Vixen Racing.

Wired, the TP52, crossed the finish line first in 2 hours 11 minutes 50 seconds, controlling the race from the front and extending steadily through the fleet. Equilibrium followed in second, 7 minutes 38 seconds adrift. Georgia One finished third at +21:40, with Vixen Racing completing the course 35 minutes 07 seconds behind the leader. Once the handicap numbers were run, the story shifted.

Under EHC, Georgia One converted consistency into another race win, stopping the clock on a corrected time of 2:21:22. Equilibrium claimed second, 3 minutes 24 seconds back, while Wired dropped to third, 3 minutes 49 seconds behind Equilibrium. Vixen Racing finished fourth, just 1 minute 10 seconds behind Wired on corrected time, keeping the battle tight through the lower podium.

The PHRF results delivered a similar order but with clearer separation. Georgia One again topped the standings on a corrected time of 2 hours 19 minutes 32 seconds, followed by Equilibrium just over two and a half minutes later. Wired slotted into third, a further 2 minutes 54 seconds back, while Vixen Racing finished fourth on 2 hours 31 minutes 55 seconds, more than 12 minutes behind the winner.

With only four boats racing, Race 6 still produced a definitive outcome. Raw pace won the line, but disciplined handicap sailing once again delivered the trophies.
