Sean Wallis has the lead in the 2009 J24 Brother National Championships, but if Doug McGain can keep his race free of penalties, he is well placed to retain his Australian Title.

Doug didn't go back for an OCS in race two and will have to waiting for eight races to be completed for the drop to apply.

Coming in at third and fourth are the locals, who are handling the conditions to their advantage with Trevor Conyers sailing his boat No Eye Deer, and Alyn Stevenson in FUN2 sailing high and fast in the short Adelaide chop.

The middle pack is not too far behind and is enjoying very close racing with the fleet all running downhill to the finish trying to pick up places and finishing sometimes seconds apart.

Strong winds are expected for Thursday and Friday so anything can happen in the top end if somebody makes a mistake or gets an OCS.

The regatta has been very well supported by its sponsor, Brother thermal printers and Austeknis, their local distributor, which supplied a Gourmet BBQ after the invitation night together with free beers after the race.
