After splitting into the gold and silver fleets, Genevieve Tulloch came on strong winning four of her five flights while Tunnicliffe slipped back by only winning two of her five flights. Liz Baylis held onto second and there is a four way tie for third half way through stage 2.

In the silver fleet, Elizabeth Hjorth has won all five flights in the first round robin of stage 2. There are no ties in the silver fleet half way through stage 2. Umpires reported tighter and more aggressive racing today.

The racing conditions were a little more consistent today with winds out of the south ranging from 8-15 knots. Rain was prevalent for most of the day, and a strong east to west current was left over from yesterday’s easterly.

Forty-eight races were run today and the regatta is half way through the gold and silver rounds. Tomorrow the gold and silver rounds will be finished and racing proceeds to the semi-finals.
