These six boats broke away from the rest of the fleet and as the wind dropped, the Race Officer shortened the course, finishing Gold & Silver at the second leeward mark. Andrew & Rory recorded their second bullet of the event. Ben & Martha took second, with Henry & Robert third.

Race 6 was away at the second attempt. Ben & Martha rounded the windward first from Abigail Croft & Alex Page (Frensham Pond) in 8363 On The Edge, with George & Ben Warrington (Thorpe Bay) in 9029 Freestyle, third, Jamie & Leyla, fourth, Nick Sutton & Thomas Jayasekera (Corinthian Otters) in 8844, fifth and David Galazin & Lizzie Wall (South Cerney) in 8348 Liquorice, sixth. Ben & Martha and Abigail & Alex opened up a significant gap over the rest of the Gold and Silver fleets with Ben & Martha scoring their second victory of the event. Nick & Thomas were third.

After six races, Andrew & Rory lead with 14 points. Ben and Martha are 7 points behind with Henry & Robert trailing by a further point on 22.

In the Bronze Fleet, overnight leaders Sam Yale & Lottie Passmore (Waldringfield) sailing 9369 scored 1,2 and after six races hold first place with 6 points. Sam Cooper & Alex Laidlaw (Frensham Pond) in 9151 scored 2,1 yesterday and now fill second place with 15 points.
