Spare 1
Jane Anderson (Laser Radial), Adam Hilton (Solo) and Nathan Pollard (Aero7) all started well in gentle easterly winds and cold vertical rain. At the first buoy, Dam Green, Jane Anderson, Nathan Pollard and then Liam Routley (Laser Radial) got away, but the rest of the fleet bunched up, impeding each other. It was not until lap 2 that the Pollard Aero overtook Jane Anderson but the handicap gave her back the victory. Dave Perrett’s Solo led the rest.

Commodore 2
The rain had stopped but the winds remained light and highly variable in direction. Jane Anderson, Dave Perrett and Nathan Pollard were the fast starters but it was the Aero which took the lead followed by Jane Anderson and, closely (by only 23 seconds at the finish) by Dave Perrett’s Solo. A second double-handed boat had joined the fleet – the Bosun of John Dabbs and Adam Hilton. It followed Brian Pollard and Natasha Routley’s Graduate, with Liam Routley’s Laser Radial ending up at the rear. The handicaps radically changed the results on the water.
