Race 3 similar start, but with Canfield to leeward off the line. Dialed up before the reach mark, but couldn't draw a foul. Robertson passed in dramatic fashion as Canfield nearly capsized after hitting a (the same?) mooring ball AGAIN!!! Trailing badly upwind now...

Robertson with a crushing lead at the final windward mark, penalized for having sailed the wrong course, Canfield wins Race 3!

Wow...

Race 4 prestart, Canfield to windward. They've been setting up really close to the line, but not as close this time. With a minute to go, they gybe in the corner, but Robertson let Canfield behind him, giving up the leeward advantange. Canfield really pinched out Robertson after that, and had a huge advantage off the start.

Canfield first to the leeward mark, but went the wrong way tactically for the top mark.

Held it through the top, but Robertson just followed this time.

Split at the gate, Robertson gaining upwind. Not over yet...

Canfield with a slow final tack, but gets a puff to cross for the final time, game over!
