Team Beau Geste skippered by Karl Kwok stormed into day two with the same awesome form they delivered in the opening races with another win in the IRC Zero class.

Neil Pryde's HiFi came back strongly to the second race of the day, making this year's IRC Zero class a spectacle.

Island Fling came home with another win to consolidate their great early form in the IRC One.

TBG Team Premier were the early pace-setters in the IRC Two and continued their good run with two more wins yesterday.

Bill Bremner's Foxy Lady finished third and second, with challengers WindSikher claiming the runner-up and third-place slots.

Australian team Foreign Affair won race four in the IRC Three, with Team Kata Rocks 1 skippered by Peter Dyer in second place.

Thailand's Royal Thai Navy 1 skippered by Wiwat Poonpat took third place as they tried to establish consistent form heading into the second half of the regatta.

Race five also went to Foreign Affair although it was anything but an easy win with a few seconds separating the top half of the competing fleet.
