In light fickle winds off Sandy Hook the Shamrock defeated the Resolute by 9 minutes 27 seconds on actual time and 2 minutes 26 seconds on corrected time after a first leg break gave the challenger the edge. The race featured a full-course reach due to shifting wind with Shamrock using a spinnaker on the last leg, while Resolute stuck with a balloon jib topsail.
