The fleet arrived to be greeted with rain much to everyone's disappointment as it wasn't forecast, but by the time the racing began it had turned into a beautiful sunny day with a force 3 to 4 westerly. There was much place changing in race one due to the shifty conditions as the wind was blowing off the land, but eventually Tom Cosier & Nick Pugh made it to the front to finish first followed by Rebecca Stephens & Niamh O'Neill in second place, Midge Watkins & Harriet Watkins in third and Sarah Richards & George Richards in fourth.
