Racing Cancelled - Steve and Phil take the British Championship

Racing was abandoned today, so the final result is on four races with one discard.

Big waves and strong breezes for the first couple of races suited Steve Goacher and Phil Evans. They also had a fabulous draw in the flights on day two seeing many of the strong challengers together in the other flight - there is a God after all... !!!!!

So the British title goes to Windermere....!!! In second place were Russell and Tim. Third and fourth were tied on points between Charles and Gavin in the magic boat (right on minimum weight!!) and Greg and Mark.....from memory I guess Charles and Gavin have it on count back!

So the BIG one is to come next... The met office breeze forecast is better too. Australia need to up their game to keep the title... Get all your Ashes gags ready!!!....
