Some quick Race 3 comments.
Congratulations to skipper and crew Boambillee. Fast kite sets and picking the lifting breeze lines was the name of the game was the post race report Boambillee’s skipper George Fisscher. It was conditions Boambillee was designed for. Race 3 had Boambillee’s name stamped all over it .

Across the race fleet post race comments were it was a perferct day for classic sailing on Port Phillip.

The Tumlaren Avian put in a notable performance. On the run back to RYCV she was holding on to Boambillee for a short while. That is till her kite head cringle said no more.

Acrospire III put on a great PR show for the classic cause with her sailing along the Beaconsfield Parade foreshore. Kingurra still has a significant lead in the series aggregate but she better watch out, Boambillee,Mercedes III and Avian aren’t done yet.

Thanks goes to RYCV admin people for their work to make Race 3 happen.

Take a look at the Mark Chew and Jane Williamson Race 3 photo’s. They show on board Acrospire III action and some of the Classic Race 3 fleet. We can include additional Race 3 photo’s.
