The day started overcast with a light breeze from the East. By the time racing was underway the breeze was fading, so much so that the phantom wood choppers turned round, went ashore, and chopped some more wood!
Those that kept racing endured the mirror like conditions and managed to complete one lap before heading ashore for lunch.
The big question was whether the wind would fill in before racing was abandoned for the day… After racing was abandoned, not unexpectedly, various zephyrs did pass through, but they soon disappeared proving the right decision was made.
