The Race Committee postponed until 10:30 when the wind came in from the NE at 4.6 to 7 knots which was enough to make headway against the current in the Detroit River. Race 1 was twice around a windward leeward course with a start in the middle of the course. Three of the boats did not make the 1 hour time limit and were scored DNF. The wind increased a little for the second race which the RC shortened to once around. After a lunch break, the third race was sailed in decreasing wind once around the course. The wind decreased enough that the Race Committee decided to cancel racing for the rest of the day just be fore four o'clock.
Indiana #1 was leading with 5 points, followed by Michigan State and Hillsdale each with 10 points.
The Race Committee postponed race 4 until 11:22 because of lack of wind. Race 4 was sailed in winds similar to those on Saturday and was once around the course. The teams rotated boats after race 4 just as they had after race 2. The fifth race was once around the course. The Race Committee declared that Race 6 would be twice around the course, decided to shorten course at the second windward mark per,sitting the fleet to sail to sail directly to shore to rotate boats Race 7 was started at 13 36 hours and was once around the course. Race 8 was also once around at the course starting at 14:14.
