Heats 4, 5 and 6 were sailed Saturday, 3 January, for the 49th 12ft Skiff Interdominion Championship and saw the Aussie team hold onto their 100 point lead in the race for the Don Brooke trophy.

New Zealand skiff Nuplex had the best of the day, tying for first place in heat 4, winning heat 5 and finishing second in heat 6. Aussie skiffs Gizmo and Yabba Dabba won heats 4 and 6 respectively.

Garde and Nuplex are tied for first place overall after one drop. Racing is now back on schedule after today's heats.

Race three was started in a 30 kts squall at 10am Most people had 4th or 4th/3rd combintations. Nuplex went full third so another great effort by Ginge with Cunning Stunts doing an excellent reverse mine on the start line.

The breeze then ranged as low as 15kts at times. The race was won by Gizmo, 2nd Garde, 3rd Nuplex, and Nick Catley took the Miners trophy.

Team points for the day were very close, 165 to Australia and 160 to New Zealand. So the Australian team is still ahead by around 100 points overall.
