Conditions were again proving to be pretty spectacular with north-easterlies of 12-18 knot breezes giving the sailors a good workout in big waves. With the discard now in, results have seen a mix-up, but in all three fleets, the leaders continued to stay out in front of the opposition today.

In the Men’s Youth fleet, Andy Maloney (NZL) started the day off well with a third but slipped up with a starting penalty in race six. With the discard now in the results he is still eight points clear of second. Martin Evans (GBR) is now in second on seventeen points having scored a third and first today and Max Moerman Maarten (NED) is in third on eighteen points.

Cushla Hume-Merry (NZL) retains her lead in the Female Youth fleet with a four point margin over Gabrielle King (AUS) in second place. While Sarah Gunni (DEN) jumped up the score board into third place after discarding a starting penalty in race two.

Having not finished outside the top two in all of his races, Michael Leigh (CAN) is showing a dominant performance in the Men’s fleet, pulling away from Brad Funk (USA) in second place who is four points off the lead. Having been able to discard a starting penalty, Simon Morgan (AUS) sits in third place.

A fantastic effort has been done by the North Shore City Council who is providing pasta each afternoon once racing is completed. It has been very well received by sailors, coaches and volunteers alike.
