The first day of racing in the Hyundai Oceania Championships for the 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 classes was held in ideal sailing conditions - with a fresh offshore breeze, bright sunlight and clear water - without a lot of harbour traffic.

In this image gallery we feature the 49er class, who were the first to get away, with the Nacra 17 and 49erFX sailing in the afternoon session.
