As we slip into day 3 of sailing the forecast today a lovely 24C and winds SE around 15-20kts for most of the day.

At the half way mark the championship is still wide open with the “Scott’s” both Fleming & Mitchell holding top spots on the leaderboard.

We chatted to the current top placed Grand Master, Peter Burford, who is currently placed 3rd about his plans for today. “A little more forward at the start’s, I’d been careful but taking advice from my coach Brad, to play the averages” he said.

When asked about his chances of catching the Scott’s he commented “I have the pace, but not the moves. I’m certainly improving as the series progresses”.

It will be a wait and see if Peter can maintain pressure on the leaders but as he said his results at the moment “are not too shabby for a Grand Master”.

After over eighteen months of planning the series is running well and is a credit to the organising committee and the many volunteers who have given up their valuable time to provide support.
