Just one race today on yet another hot late summer day in Fremantle as the regatta passes the halfway point. The fleet was held ashore for a few hours until a soft sea breeze perked up about midday.

It was an early start for the fleet on day 3 of the 2023 Flying Fifteen World Championship held on another hot and sunny day off the coast of Fremantle. The forecast of an early Easterly which was due to shut down by lunchtime forced the PRO Kevin Wilson to set an early start time of 0905 hrs. As it turned out it was a wise decision as two windward / leeward races were completed just before the wind died.

It was a long day on the water for the fleet of 76 Flying Fifteens competing at the World Championships off Fremantle on day two of the regatta. A new day and a new wind direction meant an earlier start time of 1200 noon. However the early morning Easterly breeze was always due to dye out and the sea breeze fill in the afternoon. The question was when would the change happen?
