Day 3 started with similar conditions to the last 2 days and race 7 saw a fine downwind tustle between Sean Wallis on Lunatic Asylum and Neville Wittey on Sailpac on the last leg – with Sean Wallis just taking the honours by centimetres. Sean Kirkjian followed with third on Death Star.
Race 8 saw a slight wind increase and some boats changing down to jibs for the first upwind leg. This time Sean Kirkjian finished first with a nice lead, after using his genoa for the whole race. Sailpac came in 2nd again, followed by Sean Wallis in third.
The top 3 boats all scored 4 points each today. It appears that the championship is between Sean Kirkjian and Neville Wittey but we will see what day 4 brings.
Innaminka, steered by Robert Crawford , first time sailing on a J24 took 2 fourth places today and are running 4th overall after a consistently good week.
