Day three got underway after an hour of West to North Easterly inconsistent wind.

Fast out of the blocks in race 9 was Strait4devils, keen to get the title in the bag. By the top mark Hitcher played right and side to come through in front from Bondi Tram and Good Question. Strait4devils and Phantom parked themselves on the top mark going from 2nd and 3rd back to 4th and 5th position. By the bottom mark Strait4devils had managed to get back into second position in front of Good Question and Bondi Tram. On the second and last lap of the race the fleet hit the right again whilst Phantom went left on a massive winner and blitzed the field to come through at the top mark in 3rd position from The Hitcher in 1st and Strait4devils in 2nd. Bondi Tram got a gap on Good Question to get around in 4th. Across the line The Hitcher got the win convincingly whilst Phantom continued haunt Strait4devils as they just snuck through to get 2nd from Phantom in 3rd. Bondi Tram got 4th and Good Question rounding out the fleet in 5th.

Race 2 got underway in a slightly lighter south easterly. The Hitcher got off the line with speed and set sail for a rather long upwind thanks to the PRO Chris Keil.  At the top mark The Hitcher rounded in front from Phantom in 2nd and Strait4devils in 3rd position. On the second work Phantom hit the left and got on another massive winner to get in front of The Hitcher. Bondi Tram also got through the fleet passing Strait4devils and Good Question to take 3rd position. Good question went through just behind in 4th and Strait4devils cruised home for 5th.

Overall Strait4devils got the win from Phantom and The Hitcher. Bondi Tram got 1st place on Handicap and Good question 2nd.
