The Cape 31 Class was once again racing on the national championship windward leeward course on Wednesday (day three) off Cork Harbour's Roches Point.

Anthony O'Leary’s Antix from the Royal Cork YC scored a 1-3-1 to take the lead in the series being raced as part of Cork Week Regatta.

The third day of Cork Week incorporating the ICRA National Championships was blessed with sunshine and 8-10 knots of breeze from the north.
