Final Day Standings

Howling winds, even thunder & lightning, has cancelled the last race of the series. Ben & Jenny Vines will be crowned 2010 National Champions.

It has been a superb week of sailing - competitive right through the fleet. Few people managed the kind of consistency shown by the Vines throughout the week and they are very worthy champions. Our final result is 15th overall, the same as last year but with a tougher top fleet this year we are really delighted. Dave & Betty finsihed off 21st overall, another good result while Patrick and Bill sailed 4040 (Twofortea) into 40th position overall, soo that's Threefortea then! Sophie and Alan climbed to 43rd thanks to their better results in the final two races. Jamie remained as laid back as a welsh deckchair for the entire week, finishing in the Heinz position of 57th overall with Guy and Katie and the oldest boat in the fleet just 1 behind.

Time to load up the wagon and leave this town...just in time to join a queue of caravans on the A30!

Thanks for all your comments and encouragement.
Cheers,
Ben
