Round the Island Clockwise: Royal Thames Cup (New Mug by Garrard)
The race was re-started at The Needles with a one minute time advantage to BMW ORACLE Racing, who were over 2 km ahead due to gear failure and the need to take down the jib on board TEAMORIGIN. Prior to this, BMW ORACLE Racing had been in the lead around the back of the island after TEAMORIGIN ran over their kite while taking it down by the Nab Light mark.
