Day Three of the Pre-Worlds saw lighter than expected conditions, with the breeze mostly under 15 knots. The swell was likewise a little bit smaller, the traffic lighter, and there was only the occasional moment of imminent, on-rushing death.
In R5, Douglas Raftesath and Spencer McKay claimed first place in Waterborne At Last, followed by Campbell and Stirling McKay in McMissile, then Damian Carey and Austin Freer in Bob.
R6 saw Jessie Andrawartha and Grant Atherton in Foxy Lady III claim their first win after a strong showing all series. Damian and Austin claimed yet another second, and Chris and Daisy Fuller from Hayling Island Sailing Club took third.
In the last race of the day, Campbell and Stirling McKay notched up their third win of the series. However Damian and Austin in Bob remain in the lead after another second place. Third were Jonathan and Phoebe Branch in B2, backing up from their win in R3.
So, with one day and up to three races still to sail, Damian Carey (the reigning national champion) and Austin Freer hold a 5 point lead over Campbell and Stirling McKay, with Waterborne At Last and Foxy Lady III both a further seven points back.
It looks like regatta toolbox is still not working, so look out for photos of the results on this page.
Also, don't forget to check out Robert Owe-Young's daily photo albums. Some amazing shots there. The Day 3 album is here: https://robertowe-young.smugmug.com/2019-Mirror-Aus-Titl…/…/
