Teams awoke to glorious conditions and expectations of a consistent F3/4 NNW. These lasted for the first race of the day, but by the second race, fickle, shifty winds were circling Torbay.

Henry Mills & Robert Keen (Waldringfield) sailing 8845 Hot Rocks were first at the windward from Andrew Smith & Rory Burdock (Royal Lymington/Frensham Pond) in 9243 Blue String Pudding. Third around was Oliver & William Palierakis (Fishers Green) in 7495, fourth was Jack Hardie & Olivia Bates (Frensham Pond) in 9302, fifth was Edward Cummings & Hattie Sexton (Royal Lymington/Frensham Pond) in 9028 She Who Dares and sixth was Jamie Proffitt & Leyla Manthorpe Rizatepe (Fishers Green) in 8846 No Fear. The top three places went unchallenged until the final run, when Will Davis & Jack Collings (Royal Lymington) in 9034 came through to take third place.

Louise Latham & Aaron Chadwick (Fishers Green) in 9635 Shine On and Caroline Croft & Jacob Payne (Frensham Pond) in 7274 Wave Rider traded the lead throughout Race 4, with the latter taking the gun in a close finish. Jamie Proffitt & Leyla Manthorpe Rizatepe (Fishers Green) in 8846 No Fear again started well to lie third at the windward, with Andrew & Rory fourth, Michael Horne & Ben Crane (Frensham Pond) in 9013 Purple Ronnie, fifth and Abigail Croft & Alex Page (Frensham Pond) in 8363 On The Edge, sixth. The experience of Andrew & Rory showed in securing third place, with Henry & Robert fourth and Abigail & Alex fifth.

Sam Yale & Lottie Passmore (Waldringfield) sailing 9369 consolidated their position at the head of the Bronze Fleet with bullets in both Races 3 and 4. Second place in Race 3 went to Sam Cooper & Alex Laidlaw (Frensham Pond) in 9151, with Molly Speirs & Louis Mellor (Frensham Pond) in 9294 Breezer, third. Charlie Anderson & Oli King (Frensham Pond) in 9634 took second place in Race 4 from Ross & Johnny Thompson (Frensham Pond) in 9046 in third.
