Sail Brisbane 2014 - A sight for sore eyes today came in the form of a northerly sea breeze that gave the competitors a chance to stretch their legs, and get racing on the typically choppy Moreton Bay. After the fleet was held ashore due to light westerly winds in the morning, which have plagued the 2014 Sail Brisbane regatta, they were finally given the opportunity to enjoy a nice steady Queensland Seabreeze.
The wind settled finally at around 10knots and made for some interesting racing across the three courses. In the Kite Boards Marvin Baumeister holds a small lead over Ric Black and Jalen Andreatta who battled closely in their racing today. Josh van Roon leads the optimist class over Hamish Thorne in second and Taylor Rogers in third place. Lara Obrien from Queensland leads the RSX class over Jock Calvert and Harry Walker from Queensland in third. Alastair Gifford, who has sailed extremely consistently over the past three days, maintains his lead in the Byte CII class.
With similar conditions predicted for Tomorrow’s fourth and final days racing, it will be the competitor’s last chance to jostle for podium positions.
