Three races saw three separate race winners, in a day where consistency was hard to come by. It was Team Aqua (Chris Bake/Cameron Appleton) who managed stay out of trouble and jump to the top of the leader-board at the halfway point of the regatta. There were race wins for the French team Aleph Racing (Hugues Lepic/Mathieu Richard), the home town heroes, Team Italia (Massimo Barranco/Francesco Bruni) and the team from Gibraltar (John Bassadone/Vasco Vascotto).
