Race 2

Race 3
Farmer in pole position fetched the windward mark and Boneham tacked across to obtain an inside lift to follow . Farmer led for almost an entire lap with the lead boats dividing on the next down wind leg allowing Boneham to push the windward boats high of the mark and gybe to take the lead at the leeward mark which he then held to the finish, followed by S Hawley and Wild.
