The boats started the race tightly bunched, on a short start line between the committee boat and the Toll mark, but skilful helming avoided any possible collisions. The first beat took the fleet of eleven starters up to the Voose mark where Jetta had some problems launching their spinnaker. The yachts then headed out of the River with spinnakers hoisted, towards the Rosemullion mark in Falmouth Bay. Many skippers were glad of a chance to visit one of the Bay marks after the majority of races being restricted to marks around the River mouth. Jacobi got well away from the rest of the fleet for the third week in a row, to win both the PY and IRC sections. Big Purple again kept close to the leaders, coming second in the IRC section. Forza! and Jetta, two of the J92s, were in close contention for most of the race, with Forza! just getting past on the final leg up the River towards Trebah Beach to take second place in the PY section. Magic Bus managed to hold off Demolition for most of the race too, but on the final leg Demolition's greater sail area proved decisive. With three wins out of the first three races Jacobi looks set to win the Late Summer Series, and could clinch it for certain with one more good result. The race for the runners-up spot is still wide open, with the second half of the series still to be decided in the next three weeks.
