Breeze up on Day 3 of 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 470 fleet. There were capsizes a plenty today, even the likes of Jo Aleh/Polly Powrie, and the NZL Sailing Team Men’s Olympic 470 sailor Paul Snow Hansen went for a swim. Gear breakage from that capsize in the second race forced Paul and crew Chris Dawson to retire from the last two races of the day, and the Korean 470 team Kyoung Duk Kim/Ji Won Kang suffered a similar fate; a ripped jib prevented them from finishing any of the three races.
Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie still maintain their nine point lead over Aucklanders James Turner/Carl Evans, while Paul Snow Hansen/Chris Dawson sit just behind in third.
Tuesday 5 February is the final day of racing.
