A courageous fight back in the penultimate race of the Rolex Farr 40 World Championship by Guido Belgiorno-Nettis’ Transfusion and a second place in the decider has seen the Australians once again crowned world champions in their native habitat.

The defending champions Nerone (ITA) warned yesterday that Transfusion would have to force the win. That’s exactly what they did, sailing and recovering from a couple of debatable tactical choices superbly to finish two points ahead when the final points were tallied.

Top ten final results:

1. Transfusion, AUS, Guido Belgiorno-Nettis, 35 points
2. Nerone , ITA, Antonio Sodo Migliori & Massimo Mezzaroma, 37
3. Barking Mad, USA, Jim Richardson, 62
4. Flash Gordon, USA, Helmut & Evan Jahn, 64
5. Estate Master, AUS, Lisa & Martin Hill, 70
6. Goombay Smash, USA, William Douglass, 82
7. Hooligan, AUS, Marcus Blackmore, 82
8. Kokomo, AUS, Lang Walker, 82
9. Struntje Light, GER, Wolfgang & Angela Schaefer, 85
10, Voodoo Chile, AUS, Andrew Hunn & Lloyd Clark, 90
