More overnight rain passed though, paving the way for another bright, sunny, day with morning racing sponsored by Underscar Vinery, and the afternoon RNLI pursuit by Ginger Boats.
With the base wind forecast of F3-4 coming to fruition, there was some champagne sailing conditions for those that still had the energy. The breezy conditions put off several from venturing out, and others retired after the gusts were just too much. The rescue crews were kept busy, and the sailors all enjoyed exciting planing conditions at times.
In the RNLI pursuit, two world class Mirror helms with their young daughters crewing mastered the blustery conditions through the 90 minute race to pull through to the lead, then stay ahead to the finish with Phil and Lucy Smith winning the coveted RNLI silver salver, while Andy and Isabelle Tunnicliffe were 2nd. Again, handicapping proved to be realistic with eight fleets finishing in the top 11 positions.
