Tim Jacobs wins the 2012 Perth Doctor

Race Summary

We’ll be getting stories up in the next few days but in summary:

Conditions: 28C but a cooling 10kt westerly sidewind.  Light chop on the sea that the top paddlers could work into runs.  

5-time Olympian Clint Robinson sprinted off the start line to take the hotspot.

The lead bunch dwindled to four – the Mocke brothers, Clint Robinson and Tim Jacobs.

Dawid Mocke made a move, dicing for the lead with Clint Robinson, but Tim Jacobs and Jasper Mocke powered up and took the lead.  Dawid dropped back and then there were three.  Then Clint Robinson took an inshore line, fell back and then there were two.

Tim Jacobs streaks away on his own
