Intrigue and Invincible one-all in Crown Series Division 1 duel |
|
The cross-river Division 1 ratings clash between River Derwent yachtsmen Harold Clark from Bellerive Yacht Club and Don Calvert from the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania finished one-all today at the end of last weekend’s Crown Series Bellerive Regatta. Calvert, steering his Castro 40 Intrigue regained the traditional IRC rating title from Clark, skippering his Farr 1104 Invincible, but Clark reversed the outcome under the new AMS scoring system. The Performance (PHS) scoring saw a fine win by another RYCT boat, Gary Smith and Geoff White’s Bakewell-White 45, The Fork in the Road, which also claimed line honours in six races of the three day regatta.
