At the finish 1st Richard Pepperdine/Tom Keyes, 2nd Matt Johnson/Rachel Jackson, 3rd Alan Roberts/Rob Lea, 4th Tom Hewitt/Hannah Adams.

Race 2 started in light winds and moderate rain. Matt Johnson/ Rachel Jackson started leeward, Alan Roberts/Rob Lea the windward end.

Despite many battles the final positions were: 1st Matt Johnson/ Rachel Jackson, 2nd Richard Pepperdine/Tom Key, 3rd Tom Hewitt/Hannah Adams and 4th Alan Roberts/Rob Lea.

Race 5 started without rain and a steady Force 2 -3. It was a good clean start, Dominic White/Joshua White went to the left side of the beat, reading shifts excellently and rounding the windward mark 1st, 2nd Tom Hewitt/Hannah Adams, 3rd Matt Johnson/ Rachel Jackson. Dominic/Joshua kept their cool(which is more than can be said for the spectators, particularly White/Kirkup!!) to win with Tom/Hannah 2nd, Matt/Rachel 3rd, who had done enough to take the overall Championship title with Richard/Tom 4th taking the overall 2nd in the Championship.
