Day 3 - 2016 470 African Championships Peter Mayo
After the third day of racing at the 470 African Championships in Cape Town, the top position was once again claimed by the South African team of Sibusiso Sizatu/ Alex Burger.
A windward-leeward course was set half a mile from shore, with three back to back races on the programme. A clean start for the first race of the day at 1100, with wind speed around 15 to 17 knots, and the win going to Asenathi Jim/ Roger Hudson (RSA 1), Sibusiso Sizatu/Alex Burger (RSA11) and Ricky Robinson/ Brennan Robinson (RSA 8). Over the next two races, as in previous days, the wind again increased to 20 to 25 knots, with both wins going to Sizatu/Burger.
After Friday’s racing, and eight races so far, the top three overall are:
1. Sibusiso Sizatu and Alex Burger (RSA 11) – 12pts
2. Asenathi Jim and Roger Hudson (RSA 1) – 13 pts
3. Brevan Thompson and Alexander Ham (RSA 12) – 18 pts
