Race 5

Race 5 got underway in the remnants of the southerly front that had caused the cancellation of the previous day's racing.10 knots of SW breeze saw the fleet get away on time at 930am. Searle/Bell (GBR725) started at the pin end and went left before tacking to cross the fleet on port up the first work. As a result they led from start to finish. It was another good day for the UK team with Pank/Barber (GBR746) & Fells/Cunningham (GBR758) battling the current series leaders, Guy & Rhys Bancroft (AUS357), around the course. On the last downwind leg, Simon Nelson/Andy Ramus (GBR764) held on, on starboard tack, to carry pressure into the bottom gate, putting them in 2nd behind Searle/Bell at the finish.

Final placings were;

1. Sprint, Searle/Bell (GBR 725) 2. Glashaus, Nelson/Ramus (GBR764) 3. Snatch, Pank/Barber (GBR746) 4. Buggar the Bone, Bancroft/Bancroft (AUS357) 5. AT&T, Fells/Cunningham (GBR758)
