Race 8 was another wonderfully close race and with the breeze initially lighter we saw some different faces at the front of the pack. It was incredibly close both on the water and on corrected time. Per Elisa shone today and gave Swuzzlebubble a run for her money, although they couldn’t quite save their time on her and Swuzzlebubble won the race by 23 seconds. Third place went to the diminutive Maeva who beat General Tapioca for third by a mere 0.16 seconds! Also much happier in today’s lighter airs was Checkmate XV who took fifth, beating The Big Picture by 0.53 seconds!
