The first day of racing was quite eventful with a good F4 gusting F5. The wind was forecast Northerly direction but it was shearing of the headlands so was deviating around quite a bit.
The fleet all started cleanly and headed out on a port triangular course, there where a few capsizes and retirements before the start gun and this continued on during the racing.
Great racing had by all, Osprey Odeline clinched the win followed by Merlin Rocket Qucksilver and Blaze Blue Whale
