Kiwi crews claimed bragging rights after the first day of Sail Sydney, with New Zealanders sitting on top of the leaderboard in all three classes they are competing in.
Alex Maloney and Molly Meech (Tauranga) started off in perfect fashion, winning all three races in the 49erFX, and Isaac McHardie and William McKenzie are also in the lead of the 49er after posting three good scores.
Sam Meech (Tauranga) leads the highly-competitive Laser fleet after two second placings, sitting two points ahead of Luke Elliott and Olympic champion Tom Burton, both of Australia.
Sail Sydney is the second leg of the Tasman Series and New Zealand is well represented in the Laser, 49er and 49erFX. Beautiful weather and a nice breeze of 10 to 15 knots greeted the sailors, but it was also very shifty with big gains and losses.
Josh Porebski and Trent Rippey (Tauranga) are eight points behind in fourth and Logan Dunning Beck and Oscar Gunn, who won the first race of the day, are one point further back in fifth.
