Eight hardy boats headed off down the harbour for a short course 4. Warwick Miller was streets ahead in Division 1 getting the gun on Lumiereahead of Austmark (Gunther Schmidt-Lindner) .
In Division 2, Jim Vaughan was first across the line on Another Dilemma, followed by Twocan (Stephen Teudt)
In 2nd place and Pearl 2 (Michael Twomey) in 3rd.
