Experienced yachtsman David Lynch and his son Andrew, newly initiated into the joys of ocean racing, have successfully sailed their Northshore 369 Pegasus into the lead of the of the West Offshore Products Coastal Sprint Series, hosted by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV).
The pair, who finished Race 3 in second place to Justin Brenan s Alien on the weekend, are co-owners of Pegasus. And while the duo has raced together one way or another for 40 years, Andrew is new to offshore racing, launching into it via the ORCV s new Category 3 series. We ve had two boats. We co-owned an 11 Metre One-Design, Blue Tack, and now we have Pegasus. We ve been racing it together for two years, but this is our first offshore series with it, Andrew says. Dad was the teacher and me the pupil. It s a good father and son team. We have a good partnership and share the helm.
