Results Skandia Cowes Week - day 1

by Event media on 30 Jul 2006
Day 1 of Skandia Cowes Week is proving a real challenge to some of the competitors. The weather is changing rapidly from hot sunshine and blue skies to chilly spells under the clouds. With those clouds come the gusts and they are getting stronger.
