Day 2 of the F1 Superboat Series at Geelong was in stark contrast to yesterday's wild conditions, with near perfect conditions throughout the day.

Action was fast and furious in all Classes, with Rhys Coles taking out the F1 Class and Grant Trask the F2 Class.

With all vantage points packed with spectators, the F1 and F2 Classes were well supported by the Mono Class and Jet Skis.
