49er Gold Fleet: Britain's Chris Taylor and Rhos Hawes won the only race sailed in 25kt winds, with Jim Calley and Shaun Conner (AUS) in second, and with another Australian crew Thomas Needham and Joel Turner (AUS) finishing third.

Nacra 17: The Nacra 17 fleet started racing after several delays, in strong winds, however carnage ensued as the fleet rounded Mark 2 with multiple capsizes. Soon after the fleet started the second beat, the race was abandoned.
