I havn't seen a report from the last day ...
Here are the results http://www.wpnsa.org.uk/results/fireball/results.htm I do hope that 2nd & 3rd didn't sit out the last race as a result of poor maths |

Full championship report will be ready shortly.
For the last race the boats in 2nd and 3rd places should read DNF as opposed to DNC! The race started with a 3 way match race, which is always fun to watch on a gate start. You can see an interview with the winners on Sail TV and another piece from the start of the final day. |

That SailTV coverage is excellent, Parslow always make me chuckle. It's interesting to see the different vibs you got from the guys pre-race on the last day. Waggers was definatly up for it ...

yes, the 3 way tusle pre start was very interesting to watch, i ended up in the middle of it at one point but managed to escape to make a good start.

So where was the sail.tv coverage of the start of the last race? Surely that was always going to be the key point. Good footage but without the 'denouement' then it's a little dull IMHO |

5 wins and a second from the last 6 races - WOW - Matt and Waggers (my ex crew) certainly finished that series off in dominant style! Well done guys. |
