Day 2 Racing - 17 July, 2007

In a dominant performance on the first day of racing in the Swan American Regatta, Andrew Fisher's Bandit took the honours in the NYYC Swan 42 fleet with two victories in the new one-design fleet. Lying in second place with five points is Tsunami, after two podium finishes.

Fisher's crew paid tribute to his helming skills and those of the strategic skills displayed by his tactician. Midbowmen, Scott Price, commented: "Our tactician, Steve Benjamin, did a fantastic job today and put us in really good positions on the race course. Andy Fisher, our driver, also did a phenomenal job for us. We've had a great day today and we're just happy to be part of the fleet as the competition is really strong. Tsunami has a phenomenal crew and has done very well today so they're definitely one to watch, as are Amelia."
