Ben Morrison has won the OK Interdoms with one race up his sleeve. Wakatere produced another stunning day with 15-20 knots from the SW and sunny skies. It nearly all come undone for Ben in the first race, everyone started at the boat in a very strong tide (even stronger than yesterday) with the aim of tacking and heading to the shoreline as soon as possible, Ben had an average start and then had to do a couple of turns on top of that, but he fought back to finish 3rd in the race. Paul Rhodes extended from a great start to win the race.

In the second race the tide had slackened a bit and the lefty's came into play, Ben had a good start and played the shifts well to move into the lead, which he never reliquished and gave himself enough lead over his rivals to take out the regatta.

Brad Douglas had another consistent day and keeps his second position with Paul Rhodes just behind him in third overall. Mike Williams and Roger Blasse from Australia are following up in 4th and 5th.
