Race 6 Race 6 started immediately after Race 5 in a good 18-20 knot breeze with Fells/Cunningham predictably getting off the line well. Ellis/Hansen and Nils Jolliffe/Jon Branch (UK) also showed good speed but all went too far left and overlayed the first mark allowing Reynolds/McMillan and Clive Watts/Anita Elstob back into the race. Fells/Cunningham skipped away downwind as the breeze began to fade with Jollife/Branch & Reynolds/McMillan following. Hansen/Ellis slid back behind Watts/Elstob & husband & wife team Nick & Sally Richardson from Tasmania. The Bancroft team managed to start prematurely for the second race in a row and again recovered well throughout the race, especially off the breeze. By the final lap the wind had reduced to about 5-10 knots making the going tough in the choppy seas which showed no sign of abating. Fells/Cunningham went on to win comfortably from Jolliffe/Branch (who were later disqualified for OCS), Reynolds/McMillan, Bancroft/Bancroft & Hansen/Ellis.
