The winds moderated and the seas calmed for the final race. In the Pro fleet Joshua Aldrige continued his charge winning their final race followed by Mathew French and Pietro Graceffa. James Kelly had already won Worlds and was happy to come finish in 8th.

The final results were James Kelly 1st, Joshua Aldridge 2nd, Mathew French 3rd and Pietro Graceffa in 4th

In the sport fleet the first three places had already been decided. To get fourth spot Crispin Beaumont had to beat Michele Vezzoli. The racing at the front was very close with many of the competitors being caught out by the tide around the windward mark. By lap two Crispin was in third and finished just behind Eion Lyden in third re-gaining fourth spot over all.

The final results were Eion Lyden (IRL) !st, Brice Yrieix (FRA) 2nd, Ugo Zunardi (ITA) 3rd and Crispin Beaumont 4th. In the sport fleet all the UK sailors should be commended for their effort in very tough conditions.
