While we give Jo a chance to work out the day 4 results here is a video roundup from yesterday’s racing:-

17.50 The round the cans race has finished and the boats are heading back to the dock. It was a really close race and we’ll have to wait until Jo has been able to sort out our results before we can tell you who won. Concorde looked pretty good as did General Tapioca and Smiffy. Jo is working on the results right now so hopefully we will have some confirmed info for you very shortly.

Race 9 was a six leg windward leeward and became a bit processional. Not sure about corrected but Sielius and Chimp were virtually match racing at the front of the fleet.

Race ten is a longer round the cans.

Race 8 is finished and on corrected we think is was between Sibelius and Chimp for corrected victory. King One was doing well but apparently had an incident with Miss Behaving which resulted in damage to their rig and they’ve been forced to head home.

Hooray!  The wind has swung round to the south west and we race 8 is now underway.

12.30 – The fleet is now out in the race area and the wind is looking more promising.  Its still a bit unstable but the RC has the makings of a course ready so hopefully it wont be long before we can get things underway.

11.15 – Rob Lamb has just radioed the competitors again to update them on the wind situation.  He reports that the wind is still a little unstable but they now have around 7 knots from 140 degrees.  The forecast is for this to go round to 210 degrees.  He has instructed the boats to leave the marina and proceed to the race area to await further instructions and they will continue to monitor the wind.  The AP has now been taken down from the club flag pole.

The press team will go afloat in a little while but we’ll do our best to update you periodically from the water using the mobile phone.

10.44 – The sun is now trying to come out and its definitely much brighter here in Cowes but the forecast wind still hasn’t filled in although it is trying…..

Here’s a quick snap shot of the view from the Royal Corinthian deck down towards the race area showing the drooping AP!
