The breeze began to find its mojo on Day Two of Hamilton Island Race Week, with a consistent 12-15 knot sou'easter building by late morning.

The fleets were dispatched north and south from the Island, all coming together with a downwind run from the south to the Dent Passage finish off the yacht club.

A five knot current in the passage called for close attention, with more than a few making a very late call for a last gybe, nearly being swept wide of the finish mark!

Here's a selection of Bow Caddy Media images from the Rating and Super 40 classes.
