Day 3 Regatta Report from Noumea

Race day 3 in New Caledonia provided another day of stellar conditions with blue skies and 15-18 knots with some steeper chop. 

The start of  the day was a bit slower with the fleet pushing the line, resulting in three general recalls in the two morning races before coming in for lunch. With the top of the course being pushed close to the land we saw lots of shifts making for many opportunities to overtake around the course. We had three more fast paced races this afternoon and it was another good day for the New Zealand team. 

Everyone is very excited heading into the last day today and want to leave everything they have left in the tank on the water.
