Oyster Antigua Regatta 2019 - Race Day 3 | Oyster Yachts

The Oyster fleet was in its element for the third race of the Oyster Antigua Regatta on Thursday 11 April 2019, sponsored by Raymarine. With 20 knots of breeze from the south of east, peaking in the gusts at close to 30 knots, the early part of the race was a full-on beat into two-metre waves. The Oyster fleet was fully powered up, with white water hissing past the rail, sunshine sparkling in the spray, and close to 30 degrees of air temperature. The wind strength eased in the latter part of the race, with the teams finding the best breeze improving their overall performance. The third race of the regatta was a passage race starting from outside Five Islands Harbour to a finish at Rendezvous Bay. Race Officer Ben Mobley and Alan Brook set a 13.5 mile course for Class 3, with a top mark off Falmouth Harbour, and a short downwind leg to finish off Rendezvous Bay. Classes 1 & 2 raced had a 19.5 mile course which included, shortly after the start, an additional six nautical mile leward-windward section. With 20 knots of breeze from the south of east peaking in gusts at close to 30 knots, the Oyster fleet was fully powered up for Race Day 3 of the 2019 Oyster Antigua Regatta, sponsored by Raymarine.
