I was interested to hear the RYA report of the Breitling (ex Holland ex SPA) regatta where they described:

Clark was hotly pursued by three other British sailors in her quest for Dutch silverware, with Charlotte Dobson, Andrea Brewster and Laura Baldwin occupying the fourth, fifth and sixth places in the Radial results table.

Well Laura was actually lead the regatta for the final two days of racing but on the final day of racing day where she scored a Black flagged and 34th (not ideal since it was a one race series). So actually she was ahead of Penny (not chasing her) until the very last race.

I understand Laura is no longer a member of Skandia Team GBR but she should be praised for putting together an excellent regatta.
