Results

I think all who participated will agree that the racing was spectacular! In the very heavy winds of Friday, only one race was possible, and that claimed a broken boom, broken spinnaker pole as well as a broken mast. New Wave loaned her boom and spinnaker pole to those affected competitors thus allowing them to continue to race. Saturday saw 3 races, the long distance race being the second race of the day. Conditions were much better on the Saturday but the winds returned on Sunday once again giving spectacular racing. Only 2 races were completed making a total of 6 races for the series.

Congratulations go to Motorcycle Irene, skippered by Will Paxton - the 2007 Express 27 National Champions.
