A first look at the F50's test sailing in Fremantle on Tuesday in the Fremantle Doctor.

Conditions started at 10-15kts building to 25kts before the session was cancelled at 1500hrs.

The F50s were sailing off Bathers Beach - where the water gets quite shallow, kicking up and awkward chop, which made for some challenging sailing.
