The winds have died down and it seems to be an early withdrawal of the Monsoons with fluky shifty winds between 5 to 15 knots.

Two races were sailed and the balance 4 will be sailed till the final racing on the 5th.

Vaishnavi Veeravsmshsm led the second race till the halfway point and capsized to finish 11th and dropped from the first position to 4th but still within striking distance of an overall medal.
