Jason Close sailed his Archambault 31, More Noise, to first overall in Division 2. The Victorian yachtsman was surprised to do so well against the likes of champions Wild Rose (Roger Hickman) and The Philosopher’s Club (Peter Sorensen). Close bought More Noise to Airlie Beach Race Week from Sandringham Yacht Club. “I haven’t raced the boat outside Melbourne, so I didn’t know how we would go against boats like Wild Rose and The Philosopher’s Club. It couldn’t have gone better,” he said. More Noise beat today’s race winner, Wild Rose, by just over five points after being awarded 2.4 in a redress situation. Sorensen’s boat was a further four points behind. The latter two boats went head-to-head all week.
