What a difference a day makes, especially in Melbourne. The competitors were greeted with a steady but warm 15-20knt Northerly Breeze and smaller waves from the day before.
In the Gold Fleet the Herbert Boys, Sean and Liam from New Zealand shared the glory with a win each the conditions today has made the top of the leader board very interesting approaching the halfway time of the regatta.
Still leading in Gold is Kristen Wadley with a handy lead followed by Jack Challands and the Herbert Boys closing the gap.
The Silver fleet enjoyed the conditions also with Samual Rose holding his lead followed by Rosalie Hennessy and Will Drew.
Day three is looking similar in conditions to today with the prevailing southerly expecting to make a return in the afternoon.
