Toronto, Ontario, August 24, 2010 – Toronto delivered perfect late summer sailing conditions for the third day of racing at the Mackenzie 8 Metre World Championships – the 8 Metres showed both their true beauty and strength! With two metre swells and 15 knots of easterly breeze, the sailors raced two nearly 10 mile races today. ' It was a hard day of sailing but a lot of fun', says Rob Roy, North American 8 Metre Class President.


Lafayette of Great Britain is at the top of the leader board with a first and a second in the races today. In the classic division, RCYC’s Raven placed fifth today overall, with a fifth in both races – defeating two of the modern boats. This is a great accomplishment for a classic boat in 15 knots of wind. 'Raven sailed extremely well today in the big breeze. They had a great day', said Rob Roy.
