An earlier start (11.00am) for day 3 with the hope of being off the water before the breeze hits the upper limits. Heat 6 and Nick and Enfys continued with their good form and lead at every turn from Mike and Paul . Guy and John were third. In fourth place, and obviously benefitting from competing in the World Championships last August, was Mark Millman and Nigel Moffitt from Geraldton in Western Australia. Heat 7 saw a reversal of positions with Team Dunbar having the edge over Team Jerwood and a very close finish. When the spray settled a UFD was recorded against Nick and Enfys so a lot of effort for no result. Guy and John were second and former World Etchell Champion Peter McNeill sailing with Mark Holmes were third. Heat 8 had more breeze and the Jerwood v Dunbar battle continued and a finish so close that the red flags were fluttering for a discussion in the protest room. The protests were dismissed and Nick and Enfys were the winners by the smallest of margins from Mike and Paul. Ever consistent, Guy and John were third and the Daves ( Tabb and Bennett) fourth. Eight races done and the Jerwoods look in pretty good shape . Two more races on Friday as the weather on Thursday has been deemed too unfriendly. A good decision by Race Officer David Hughes.
