The second race of the series which was started at 11:40 p.m., on Monday, August 2. Twenty minutes before the start the course signals were hoisted on the committee boat Wilhelmina indicating a triangular course with the first leg southwest, the second east by south and the third north by west one-half west. This gave the necessary thirty-mile triangle. The first leg was almost directly to windward and the wind velocity did not exceed three knots at the time of the start.

Endeavour II stole the start and came about directly in front of Ranger, back winding her so badly that just before the actual start Ranger was forced to go about and crossed the starting line on the port tack. Endeavour II did not cover.
