Race 1: Philip Worth showcased his exceptional sailing prowess, clinching first place. Following closely, Jon Shaw secured a strong second place, with Richard Sims rounding out the podium in third.

Race 2: Philip Worth continued his dominance, sailing to another first-place finish. Wayne Fletcher made significant gains to take second place, while Jon Shaw maintained consistent performance, finishing third.

Day 2

The second day intensified with wind speeds escalating to 23 knots and swells growing to 2 to 3 meters, pushing the sailors to their limits.

Race 3: Philip Worth once again demonstrated his mastery of the rough conditions, taking first place and securing a clean sweep of the races. Jon Shaw exhibited remarkable resilience, finishing second. Wayne Fletcher, despite the fierce competition and challenging conditions, secured a commendable third place.

Philip Worth's flawless performance across all three races underscored his dominance in the Phantom Class, while Jon Shaw and Wayne Fletcher also displayed admirable consistency and skill throughout the event.
