| SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA-(20-4-2003) Day 3 of racing saw a dramatic change in the breeze after the 25 knots the fleet sailed in on the first day of racing, with the top being 12 knots from the southwest. The fleets enjoyed constant breeze but with Easter being later in the year it is definitely colder in the water and several rain squalls produced fresher breezes. The 11 boats in the 2.4mr class finished up their racing with Stuart Shimeld taking first place Michael Leydon in second and Peter Thompson in third.
Interstate teams from Victoria and WA still hold the top three positions in the 420 fleet with Matt Petzke and Jon Newman and Pete Wilson and Paul Newman from Victoria in first and third places with Elise Rechichi and Rayshelle Martin from WA in second after 8 races. In the 470 class Craig Souter had damage to his mast, which has caused him to not be able to race and has allowed Ian and Byron Salav to move into first. James Ward and Kurtis Warner have maintained their overnight lead in the Flying Ant class with brothers James and Angus Naylor in second.
Emmett Lazich and Phil Manning are currently first in the 49'er class. In the 29'er class Evan Walker and Matthew Hodge have maintained their position of first in the fleet. Kevin Lim in the Laser class leads from Mark Tonner-Joyce and Sean Feeney. Seve Jarvin is still in first position in the Laser Radial after three first places today. Tornados are being lead by Steve Medwell and Brent Vaughan with Andrew Macpherson and Andrew Heaney in second after two first places in today's races. In the Cherubs James Birdsall and Jensen Penney continue to dominate the class.
