Sailors arrived to the Christchurch School Waterfront at about 10:30-11:00 AM for a 12:00 PM first start. With very little breeze and rain storms passing through the area the decision was made to postpone on land. At about 1:15 the breeze began to fill from the South. Sailors launched for a first gun at 1:45 PM
One race was completed in a shifty southerly.
Race two was called back after the breeze died down and clocked severely left.
After the race course was re-set a second attempt at race two was started. During race two it began to downpour and the breeze quickly jumped up. The decision was made to send all sailors back to shore.
After the rain stop passed though there was not enough wind to send sailors back out.
