Series races on Sunday.

With winds in the the region of 20 to 30 knots from the west, the boats encountered a fast downwind leg in good swells, and plenty of windward work into some fairly large seas coming back up the North Shore.

First boat over the line, Monterey with Les Crane at the helm, finished in a little over four hours for an average boat speed of seven knots.

Crane got off to a good start and led most of the way around the course. After being laid up for several months due to damage earlier in the season, Monterey , one of the heavier boats, ploughed through the choppy seas with ease.

Penny Simmons in High Energy had to settle for second place over the line while Crew Cut sailed by Martin Purser was third after losing her spinnaker halyard in the North Channel.

Three J24s made up Class Three and all performed well in the challenging conditions.

Those on Gripper demonstrated their skill in retrieving one of their crew who fell overboard while surfing downwind with the spinnaker. This required dropping the spinnaker and beating back to windward in order to make their retrieval.

Cyclone , sailed by Mike Butler, led the way in this class followed by Gripper (Jonathan Custance-Baker) and Tempest (Arthur Whalley).

In the Cruising Class, Leslie Swainson in Scheherezade continued where he'd left off in the previous race, winning the class with Mathew Cainey in No Regrets second.
