**Randypix snapped back at the top in Sydney, winning a tight time-trial by just 4.76s — even after a 1.9s start delay — and capped it with a decisive 5.0s punch on a key reaching leg.** Tdancer324 had the best start of the day at 0.7s and matched the pace early, but the clock ultimately favored Randypix’s cleaner conversion across the middle of the course.

Tdancer324 came off the line fast (8.1 kts) and immediately made it a race, edging the opening upwind by 0.9s and then going level on the first reach. But this triangle didn’t reward “almost”: Randypix started slower (5.2 kts) and still held steady, then flipped the script mid-course—on the longer reaching section, Randypix ripped off **67.5s** to Tdancer324’s **72.5s**, the single biggest swing between them. From there, it was all about protecting seconds: Randypix also nicked the final beat by 1.1s to stop the late push and lock the win at **4:47.70**.

Behind that duel, the podium fight stayed tense. Peter slid in just 0.93s behind Tdancer324, making second-to-third almost a photo finish inside the photo finish. And Johne—still a new VR sailor from Oct 2026—put together a standout run for 4th despite a **5.2s start delay**, showing serious speed with a **14.4 kts max** on the same 4 tacks / 2 gybes workload as Peter.

Further back, Tony kept it sharp and efficient with 3 tacks and 2 gybes for **5:02.79**, while league newcomer OO dave continues to build momentum just five days into racing, breaking **5:08** with a **13.6 kts max**. And for Jimmy: the raw top-end is there (**14.1 kts max**), but today’s clock was decided early—cutting that **28.1s start delay** is the biggest quick win, and the reaches are the next place to claw back time with more consistent angles and smoother transitions. Yesterday Randypix had to settle for second; today, he turned the tables with a stopwatch-perfect middle leg when it mattered most.
