Club secretary Jacqui Lockwood said after adjusting to the conditions of Port Phillip Bay, all four crews honed their racing skills throughout the five days of competition.
“The series wasn't without its challenges, with collisions, gastro and sea sickness testing the sailors commitment,” Ms Lockwood said.
The overall places from the seven races saw Emma come in 10th, Yellow Fin at 14th, Tasmania One at 16th, and Mach 3 at 17th.
Ms Lockwood said it was “a most pleasing result”, especially considering the squadron started up less than a year ago.
