The team on Tawera have extended their Mastercard Superyacht Regatta lead after first and second place finishes in the two races sailed on Doyle Sails Race Day 3.
Our fleet of seven Superyachts were greeted by a beautiful Auckland day this morning, there was a bit of cloud around, but the air was warm, and the wind was slightly up from yesterday with upwards of ten knots of breeze on the course area. Racing got under way as scheduled at 11am local time. The course was a long triangle in the same location as yesterday, and with a reaching start, they all headed north towards the first mark.

The 33 metre superyacht racing machine Silvertip has taken its first victory of the Mastercard Superyacht Regatta, winning race three of the regatta on Boat International Race Day 2.
The weather was a complete contrast to day one, with very minimal breeze on the Hauraki Gulf in Auckland, forcing Race Officer Harold Bennett s hand to delay racing for an hour and a half.
By 1230pm local time, the breeze then filled in just enough to get a race-start under way, and with the sun shining and balmy temperatures on offer, the crews were certainly going to be able to take in the scenery that our harbour has to offer as they attempted to make their way around the track.
