After yesterday's day of ideal conditions for sailing, things very much changed here at Magnetic Island. Today, the keelboat fleet were sent around the island, in strong 20 - 25 knot SE breeze with 2-3 metre swell, which tested many crews. Racing for the Fantasea F18 Australian Championships got underway today also.
