The racing conditions were a little more consistent today with winds out of the south ranging from 8-15 knots. Rain was prevalent for most of the day, and a strong east to west current was left over from yesterday’s easterly.

Forty-eight races were run today and the regatta is half way through the gold and silver rounds. Tomorrow the gold and silver rounds will be finished and racing proceeds to the semi-finals.
