Peter Horn’s Canute won Australia’s largest sailing event, the Audi Victoria Week in Geelong. Peter brought his new Summit 40 south from Sydney for her first major IRC event with Rob Brown calling the shots ““Being a new boat, you don’t know how you will go, but I never dreamed Canute would be this good.” The race reports for the very competitive IRC 2 fleet described one beat “Canute has impressive upwind speed, outpacing her rivals up the first beat of Race 5, leaving the rest of the fleet in her wake. By the time she reached the top mark for the first time, she’d already put a good minute on her nearest rival.”
