In the windward and leeward tests, Enterprise was at its best in a light breeze, swift into the wind but slow off it. In calm weather on the third day of racing she beat Whirlwind nicely, but her victory over Yankee in the fourth race did not mean much as Yankee's jib ripped open on the second leg.
