Weather Update For Race Three
August 2, 2011
The fleet continued overnight with light winds although there were reports this morning of the wind increasing to around 15 knots. The direction is still SE/SSE but the forecast is that it may veer later to the SW.
It promises to be a very interesting day’ racing with several ships closely contesting places in each class. The increasing wind and possible favourable wind shift should help ships progress better towards the finish line than they have been able to to date.
Another update on positions in class and overall to follow this evening.
