Peter Burling & Blair Tuke are on fire and have extended their overall lead in the 49er class to a massive 29 point margin. With an 8th, a 2nd and two 1sts in today’s races the defending world champions are demonstrating to their rivals that consistent single digit results are required to stay at the top of the board. Blair Tuke reports; “Really windy conditions again today for our first three races. Gusts were close to 30 knots which made for some great rides and a lot of carnage and capsizes!” “We sailed well in these races, but a capsize at the bottom mark gates in one race had us drop from 3rd back to 8th but still a keeper score.” “The last race of the day was sailed this evening inside the harbour in front of a big crowd. We took the bullet in this race to top off a great day for us. Still plenty more racing to happen.”
