The second day of the Nationals was sailed in much lighter winds from the SSW ranging between 5 and 10 knots on average. The control area was therefore shifted to the main promenade. There was a delay to the start of racing due to an outstanding protest from Race 8A on Day 1 being heard before racing started. However, after having a minimal break for lunch, 7 additional races were completed by the ultimate 17:30 cut-off time. Prize-giving took place in the WKSC clubhouse with a welcome speech from the Club Commodore Jean-Louis Simons and a short thank you to the volunteers from Birkenhead Commodore John Brierley.
The final podium was:
- Brad Gibson Grunge 31 pts
- Graham Bantock Quark 52 pts
- Martin Roberts Starkers Squared 59 pts
The Classic M Trophy (first registration of a boat prior to 2009) was won by Andrea Roberts and the TOT’s Trophy (Team of Three) by Brad Gibson, James Edwards and Mike Parkington.
