First Race Day Four 1.08pm

The Open full rigs are away with Josh Junior Closest to the signal boat and Andrew Murdoch just below him with the rest of the fleet spread across what appears to be an even start line.

The Open Radials are away with another clear start.

At the top mark in the full rig open Sam Meech leads followed by youth sailor Michael Cate and Roelof Bouwmeester.

As the Radials round the top Keith Inglis is first Taylor Burn second followed by Cullen Le Roy. It looks like these lighter winds are unearthing new talent in the fleet.

The Laser Masters are having another go after a general recall.

As the 4.7s round the top its Emma Sullivan, Jacob Millar and then Cain Anderson

All classes are now underway and the 4.7s are coming down to the bottom gate with Jacob Millar leading over Emma Sullivan and Cain Anderson.

As the Full rig masters reach the too Tony Nicholson leads over Kent Copplestone and Andrew Dellabarca. They then hold these positions around the bottom gate with Rob Woodward and David Lowe in the next two positions.

The Laser Radial Masters are around the top with Scot Leith continuing his climb up the ladder rounding in first then Hamish atkinson and Peter Thomas. The second time around the top Kent Copplestone led over Tony Nicholson who received a penalty and did his 720. Next was Andrew Dellabarca.

These are perfect sailing conditions typiical of Worser Bay at this time of year..

The Open Full rigs are rounding the last bottom mark and with a short beat to the finish the finishing order looks like it will be - Andrew Murdoch, Sam Meech, Roeloff Bouwmeester, Rutger vanSchnaardenburg, Andy Maloney and Josh Junior..

The open Radials are finishing with sara Winther taking the gun and Rachel Basevi second.
