Nine flights were completed in light to moderate north to east winds which veered to the west as the storm approached. The Alfreds team of ROUGHLEY, John DAHLENBERG, Marty TREMBATH and Jeremy ROBERTS had a good day with six wins and two losses, though with some competitors having sailed only one match so far and with ten more flights remaining to complete the round robin, a more meaningful pattern should emerge tomorrow, when similar weather is again forecast with increased wind and another afternoon storm. The regatta continues till Sunday.

The regatta is fortunate to have a highly experienced on water management team including the bulk of the match racing group from the Sydney 2000 Olympics. The umpire team includes America's Cup umpires John WHITFIELD, Flavio CARSUGHI and David TALLIS and is led by Bill PRINGLE.

Young Josh JUNIOR (NZL) fell foul of the umpires when already carrying a pre-start penalty, he failed to take action to keep clear of the experienced Seve JARVIN (AUS) who established an overlap on the run eventually incurring two more penalties and a black flag.
