Seve Jarvin, Sam Newton and Robert Bell reproduced yesterday’s performance in Gotta Love It 7 when they again outgunned a red-hot 18ft Skiff fleet to take out Race 2 of the Winning Appliances Giltinan International Championship on Sydney Harbour today.

The young team, who have previously won both the NSW and Australian Championships earlier this season, were superb and gave no other teams a chance in a dominant display.

Omega Smeg (Trevor Barnabas) also reproduced her Race 1 form to again finish second, 59secs behind the winner, with Asko Appliances (Hugh Stodart) a further 58secs back in third place.

Following today’s race, Gotta Love It 7 heads the point score list with a loss of 2 points, followed by Omega Smeg on 4, Asko Appliances 7, Club Marine (Adam Beashel) 9, defending champion Fiat (Michael Coxon) 13 and New Zealand’s CT Sailbattens (Phil Airey) on 15. -Frank Quealey
