Race three on Sunday saw another great day but a disappointing 5-6 knot east south east breeze which was to make for some interesting sailing along with the big run out tide.

Salty Lips jumped away at the start from DSOM, Evolution and Bohica (G.Williams of Teralba) with the rest of the fleet closely bunched behind him. Conditions were frustrating as the boats rounded the top mark and tried to run downwind against the tide.

Experience came through with Salty Lips, DSOM and Evolution gaining a break from the pack and finishing in that order. Next were Bohica, That's Gold, and Hooters.

The mixed fleet also enjoyed some close racing with Predator (Len Mancell and Les Barlin) Final Phase and MidCoast Mowers marking the most of the spinnaker runs. Predator just held out Final Phase and MidCoast Mowers.

Race four was also sailed in light breeze.

Best at the start were Oracle, Salty Lips, DSOM and Poppa Bear. In a real cat and mouse type race Oracle and Salty Lips swapped the lead many times and even after Oracle clipped a rounding mark and had to complete a penalty turn they hung onto win from Salty Lips and DSOM.

In the mixed fleet MidCoast Mowers were having their best race so far and hit the lead on the spinnaker run, just ahead of Final Phase with Grunt third, however Cody couldn't keep the vee ess in front of Final Phase who eventually won.

Overall results saw DSOM win the NS14 Travellers trophy from Salty Lips and That's Gold.

Handicapper Terry Launders superimposed the local NS14 results with the mixed fleet results only to see a dead heat for first with Final Phase winning on a count back from Dark Side of the Moon.

Overall handicap winners were Liten Up from Don't Tell Mum (Tony and Aaron Nicolls). Great to see these boats leading the fleet on handicap.

Next week sailors will again sail at Manning Point for the first heat of the knockout.
