Audi Hamilton Island Race Week Day 2 and giant 4.8 nautical mile legs for the IRC Class A windward leewards sailed on Catseye Bay today. Good lengths for the supermaxis Wild Oats XI, Investec Loyal and Lahana and good tow for 'the little boats' - the TP52's.

Breezes were in the 13-18 knot range, classical winter trade winds, but as the tide flooded south, there was enough lump to excite the yachting photographers.

Here are some Sail-World.com images, more later.
