Race 3 of the Concierge Traveller Spring Series presented another entertaining day's racing. Windy conditions presented the 24 competitors in the race with lots of challenges, with gusts of up to 23 knots recorded on Sydney Harbour at 2pm.
Congratulations to Business As Usual, Clavida, Applejack and Crosshaven for winning their respective divisions.
Each week, all of our divisional winners are in for a chance at the $500 prize courtesy of our wonderful Race Partner Concierge Traveller. At the conclusion of the series, all divisional winners will then be in for the chance at the $5,000 major prize, again with thanks to our Race Partner Concierge Traveller.
With this coming Sunday being the final race of the series, competitors across all divisions will be putting their best foot forward for the series win with two out of the four divisional leaders tied going into this final race.
