Only one race was sailed on Day 3 due to light and falling winds.
Chris Steele (NZL), Benjamin Grez (CHI) and Lucas Swan (BRA) have now established a clear lead and are expected to be near the top of the leaderboard when the first discard is taken after Race 6 (sorry for the error yesterday). Many of those affected by OCS/BFD penalties in Race 3 did not score well today though there are some notable exceptions such as Sacha Pelisson (FRA).
