Despite a pessimistic forecast, the fleet was released on time for racing to start at midday. The wind, unfortunately however, did not want to play ball, resulting in every wind direction in different areas of the course. After waiting patiently for the wind to stabilise, the race committee decided to send the fleet ashore for a postponement, giving everyone time to find some lunch before racing began. After a short wait, a southerly sea breeze filled in and racing commenced.
The first race was characterised by a long port tack and a wind bend to the left. Tom Morris and Guy Filmore managed to cleanly cross the fleet on port from the bias pin end and demonstrated impressive pace to pull away from the boats around them. Due to the long port tack and pin bias, the committee end boats tacked early onto port, giving Tom and Guy a decisive lead as the wind curved to the left.
