	The second day was somewhat short of wind. Race 3 on Course Area D was started in a light southerly, but despite a shortened course most boats struggled against the out-going tide to reach the finish. Mind over Matter (3615) and Gingerbread Man (YC133) were the only finishers in PHS Division 3 before the time limit expired
	Disko Trooper, Windflyt and Scarlett OHara creeping to the finish at the Point Piper Mark in Race 3. Scarlett O'Hara made it just in time but the time limit for the Classic Division expired seconds before Windflyt crossed the line
