Nautica Footwear just ahead of Fine Line USA, also approaching the finishing line under spinnaker. Nautica had lost ground to Fine Line USA as they sailed a little too far towards the eastern shore of the Derwent. Fine Line USA, a fair distance behind, had tacked earlier than Nautica off Taroona. With a good run up the river, Fine Line USA had closed the gap at the line down to 20 seconds.
