Having put the Nationals to bed with a commanding performance off the Pembrokeshire Coast. Tom Gillard and Richard Anderton fitted the Garmin Elite Virb that Tom won at the Garmin Summer Series, for the last day of racing.

Crew Richard said afterwards, "Shame that we didn't get to record one of the real hard work outs (high wiring gybes, followed by drop, and round leeward mark) they usually kill me, and my heart is going nuts at that point - races 9 and 10 were both quite calm!"
