Maybury's Joker II, a past class champion, is five points clear of Richard Colwell and John Murphy's Outrajeous from Howth Yacht Club on eight points.
Third in the ten boat fleet on 12 points is Andrew Craig's Chimaera also of the host club.
Racing continues on Sunday and more light winds are forecast.
