The Autumn League runs on the five Sundays of October with racing for Spinnaker, WhiteSail and 1720 classes.
It was a beautiful morning for the first races, but the northwest wind was very light.

After a short postponement, the combined fleets went on a Windward Leeward course outside the harbour.
The course was shortened when the wind died completely, and as it filled in again, most boats got a finish in a two-hour first race.
There was a wait for the wind to fill in between races, but it eventually came from the southwest at about 8 to 10 knots. A laid mark gave all fleets a beat and then a run back to Harp Mark off Trabolgan, then into the Harbour, passing No 2 buoy and a finish in White Bay.
