Chennai: Rajesh Choudhary of AYN finished first in all three races of the Standard fleet category, on the third day of the Vestas National laser coastal sailing championship, at the Chennai Port on Monday.

It was a difficult day for the sailors, with four to five knots of wind speed coming in.

The wind dropped in the first race, which led to the course being shortened for the second race.
