**Randypix made it two straight in Sydney — 5:07.42 to 5:14.25 — winning a 6.83s photo finish even while carrying a 2.1s start delay.** The headline was written upwind: Randypix banked a combined **+25.2s** across the two upwind legs and never let the clock fully give it back.

Captain Jim actually had the sharpest start in the fleet at **1.6s delay** and rolled through the lap with a higher **13.8 kts** max speed, even stealing time late: **-2.2s** on the second downwind and **-0.8s** on the final beat to the line. But the decisive moment came earlier. On the opening upwind, Jim’s **2 tacks** meant extra distance — **44.7m more** than Randypix — and that alone ballooned into **+10.5s**. When the course asked again on the longer upwind, Randypix delivered the knockout: **94.5s vs 109.2s**, another **+14.7s** gain with matching 3-tack counts, turning the whole time trial into a chase Jim just couldn’t quite finish.

Behind them, Tony’s **5:26.66** was a statement run: a **4.8s start delay** didn’t stop a podium, and Tony still posted the day’s best top-end at **14.0 kts** while keeping the maneuver count lean (**3 tacks, 2 gybes**). OO dave continued a rapid newcomer arc too — only six days into league racing and still navigating a **16.5s delay**, yet landing **4th** in **5:27.89**. Helluvahoopes and Brad Garbers weren’t far off that mid-pack tempo either, both in the **5:37–5:54** range with similar tack/gybe totals, showing how tight this triangle was once the upwind damage was done.

Paul’s first league start was a tough clock lesson, but there’s real upside in the raw speed: **13.5 kts max** proves the boat can move. The biggest gains are clear and immediate — cutting that **178.1s start delay** and trimming the workload upwind (an eye-catching **18 tacks, 4 gybes** overall, plus **200.1m** extra sailed upwind) will swing minutes fast. Keep getting to the line on time, and let the course get shorter with fewer tacks — the next run will look nothing like **10:49.38**.
