Day two flashed past with two great races. Tom Morris and Tommy Darling showed the fleet a clean pair of heels with two comprehensive wins with their great boat speed in marginal conditions.

Breaking the strangle hold of podiums positions Tinned D'Gratin and Arthur Hendersun managed to hold off Rob Gullan and Tom Partinton on the long reach to the finish. Race five followed more to form with Monique Vennis-Ozanne and Hugh Shone settling in third ahead of fast charging head of insight Ben Palmer and Bruna De Quieroz.

Saturday dawned with a light Easterly breeze however the race team nailed the early launch to catch the sea breeze right on the nose. Is that a saying? It is now.

The fleet was treated to three epic races in wonderful conditions. The top three consolidated despite some spicy coming together activities on the start line. The black flag even appeared and caught Rob and Tom in race six.

The real highlight of the day, virtue of the race team getting the silly sailing done quickly, was the beach rounders. Crews obliterated the helms. It was a confident display with the crews dismantling the helms with ease, showing superior athleticism and strategy. It ended 14 to 10 to the crews.
