The tech2 team of Jack Macartney, Charlie Wyatt and Lewis Brakewon the opening race of the 2021 JJ Giltinan Championship on Sydney Harbour.
With a great display of crew work in the 12-18 knot SSE breeze, tech2 worked her way through the fleet to score a 27s victory from the Smeg team of Michael Coxon, Ricky Bridge and Trent Barnabas.
Third place went to Finport Finance of Keagan York, Matt Stenta and Phil Marshall a further 2m 44s back, with Andoo of Marcus Ashley-Jones a fast-finishing fourth, ahead of The Oak Double Bay-4 Pines of Aron Everett and Yandoo of John Winning.
