And so, the door opens and in walks Cullen Hughes! The reigning World Champion, with crew James, moved to the top of the table on Day Two with two wins out of three. The winds were light and shifty, around ten knots, and R3 especially saw many of the frontrunners have to fight their way back through traffic from the middle of the fleet.
The first race of the day was won by Paul and Tess Plowman in Girra-girra. Girra-girra is named after the Gadigal word for "Seagull" and Pauland Tess have shown impressive form in light winds. 2nd was Waterborne At Last (Douglas Raftesath and Spencer McKay), with Wave Catcher (Cullen Hughes and James Hughes) coming third.
In the second race, it was Wave Catcher, followed by newly crowned National Champions McMissile (Campbell McKay and Stirling McKay), then MadCat (Mark Nash and Caitlin Nash) from Hunters Hill.
The third race began with darkening skies, but stronger winds. Once again it was Wave Catcher first, then MadCat, the Rumble Fish (now sailed by John Dransfield and Tyler Dransfield).
So, the standings after Day Two are:
1st Wave Catcher (9 points)
2nd McMissile (22)
3rd Bob (25)
4th Waterborne At Last (28)
5th Rumble Fish (29)
6th MadCat (34)
7th Foxy Lady III (34)
8th Girra-girra (35)
9th B2 (39)
10th Ripples (47)
