The British and French sailors at the B14 Worlds got a taste of a Melbourne cool change this afternoon.
Principal Race Officer Peter Merritt was halfway through his information session and highlighting the importance of the sign off and sign on procedure for safety as Melbourne "experiences rapid changes in the weather". As if on cue a 30 knot westerly came hurtling up Port Phillip Bay sending bits of kit and anything not tied down flying.

While the Sydney Hobart boats set off, and a selection of Olympic and America’s Cup sailors take to the water, down the road in Sorrento there will be a battle for glory and reputation off the waters of McCrae at the 2015 B14 World Championships.
