Winds up at Sail Auckland
Conditions on Auckland harbour were less than obliging for the competitors on day three of Oceanbridge Sail Auckland, allowing only six of the fifteen classes to get on the water, with three races completed for the 13 boat 420 fleet.
420 series leaders Taylor Balogh/Samuel Lee struggled to find their feet this morning, but quickly got back ahead of pace to win the subsequent two races. They now have a nine point lead on the second placed girls pairing of Olivia Mackay/Abby Goodwin.
The local team of William Linkhorn/Alex Wotton sailed their best day of the regatta so far, winning the first race and following up with a pair of seconds. They are in third place overall, just one point adrift of Mackay/ Goodwin.
Tuesday 5 February is the final day of racing.
