(MyPR.co.za) By Filed Under: Sports Edit This Article

Shifty conditions greeted the Boardwalk Hobie 16 Nationals fleet on Saturday 22 March 2014 – the 3rd and 2nd last day of sailing.

After no sailing on the first day in Port Elizabeth the shifty conditions presented a challenge for Race Officer Doug Allison who had his mark laying crews shifting the course as the wind swung from North to North West to West to South West where it settled for the day.

Four races were sailed in winds increasing from 7 to 22 knots with the last race completed just as the wind increased to over 25 knots at 4:00 pm.

A short chop and decent wind made for some exhilarating sailing as Blaine and Roxanne Dodds reveled in the strong conditions to draw level with William and Lucinda Edwards on 12 points each but placed first by virtue of their four 1st places over the 8 races sailed so far.

The discard has kicked in and helped Andrew and Angela Ward to move into 3rd place on 32 points – a scant one point ahead of Belinda and Ryan Hayward on 33 points.

With one day to go the battle royal will be for 1st and 2nd place and 3rd and 4th.

The top three finishers overall on Day 3:
William and Lucinda Edwards – Knysna Yacht Club on 12 points
Blaine and Roxanne Dodds – Knysna Yacht Club on 12 points
Andrew and Angela Ward – Algoa Bay Yacht Club on 32 points.
