Decent breeze and bright sunshine for the last race of the season and all to play for in the series. Good
start in some clear air but soon realised that the No. 3 was not the right headsail so had to change up to the
No.1. First mark was Royal Thames and chose to go to the South of the Bramble Bank where there should
have been less tide but it did not seem to pay off and ended up towards the back of the fleet rounding the
mark. Good downwind leg and pulled away from Whistler and Pastime of Hamble. On the second beat to
Royal Thames had to deal with a container ship but did not loose out too much. Long downwind leg to the
finish and managed to pull some distance on Restless. Had enough time on Pastime of Hamble but not sure
how we had done overall as we had not seen Spirit of St George, however, they turned out behind us on
corrected so our sixth place was good enough to win the overall series.
