A gentle force 1 southerly for this race, in contrast to the previous day. The running start was going well until everyone arrived together at the first mark, with the leading boats stationary and the ones behind closing up.

After the melee Rodney Tidd came out first in his OK followed by Bernard Clark and Spike Turner also in OKs.

The weather was not to the Lasers' liking being so light and they fell back after initially challenging the OKs.

The race was shortened to one lap.
