The champagne is open for Karl Purdie this evening. He has, provisionally, become the NZ OK Dinghy Association champion for 2010. Fellow Kiwi Paul Rhodes finished in second place on line in Race 8 which was enough to put him into second place overall. Nick Craig from Great Britain rounds out the podium.

54 entrants started Day 3 of racing, with champagne sailing conditions – 15knts from the south with good chop. By Race 8 (the third of the day and last of the regatta) this had almost reached the upper limits of sailing, gusting 25 knts, and nearly half the fleet were back on the beach. Race 8 was particularly hard, with Purdie and Paul Rhodes battling it out for the finish.

Everyone is now back on shore, joined by the European entrants who have not yet joined the sailing competition.
