The sunny afternoon with a good south easterly breeze and a slow tide made for a very pleasant afternoon's sailing.
Limited boats sailed in both the junior and catamaran races with the juniors won by Bridgette Taylor and Jamie Newton in Dorado.
In the catamaran class, Tony Kuhn on Stella won.
First in the monohull division was Steve Couch in Lazybuoy followed by Stuart Symons and Liam Halmi in Elmo.
With only seconds between them came Simon Gandy with crew of Ruby Newton and Cameron Halmi in Voyager, Roger Shipton in Zazoo and Martina Holt in Spellbound.
Andrew Richards in Impulsive came in a minute later followed by Jeff Walsh in Firefly, Jane Cooper in Impetuous, Paul Robertson in Flembouyant and Ed Maloney and Steve Bohlsen in St. Elmo.
