After the New Year´s Day rest day it was back to the serious stuff here in Manly Bay, Auckland, New Zealand, and day 3 of competition to decide the 2019 O´pen BIC World Champions.
After two tricky days with light and fluky winds, day 3 gave all the sailors a chance, with near-perfect conditions of 8 – 12 knots and sun. They were all so keen to get into the action that there were three general recalls on the day, but when it all settled down the Race Committee was able to run three more rounds of racing, to give the provisional standings a shake up and leave things finely balanced going into the final four races of the championships.
