The Rum is disputed in Cascais, three more sleeves of the European J70 Championship of the Corinthian category and the Spanish teams were placed at the top of the classification. After the time of the previous day, and after waiting in port, the 54 registered teams from 15 countries were back to sea. In the first manga of the day, and fourth of the championship, two Spanish teams went up to the top.

The Catalan youth of "HangTeng-Hnos. Berga" were clearly imposed, followed by the canaries of the "HSN Sailing Team" and third was the Hungarian "Lujzi" who signed its best result to date in this championship. The fifth of the championship was won by the Finnish "Liquid Sun," followed by the Brasleño "To Nessa" and the British "Woof!" while the first Spanish were the young Gallegos of "Bodegas Villanueva" in fifth place, "Red April" in the sixth, ninth era "HangTen-Hnos. Berga," and thirteen "HSN Sailing Team" after a spectacular show, and this being its worst result and for the moment the regatta that are discarded. It should be noted that the Gallegos of the "Pazo de Cea" ended in ninth position, but were later disqualified in the best partial result of their championship.

In the third and last manga of the day, the current was no longer so influential and again it was two Spanish ships that began leading the fleet in the first crosses of the fenced, with "Bodega Can Marlés" and "HSN Sailing Team," finally imposed the Portuguese "Another Affair" that after first riding in barlovento, it achieved some advantage that it managed to maintain until the end of the race, following the incessant threat of the "HSN Sailing Team" who ended with a new second, and it is already three accumulated in its locker. Third was the American "Tell me" and fourth "Bodega Can Marlés."
