Volvo Optimist National Championships - Day Five

by Sam Stickney 11 Aug 2000 11:42 BST

Thursday 10 August saw a South Westerly wind, slightly shifty between 5-10 knots with intermittent sunshine. The tide helped to hold competitors off the start line and the Race Committee saw three good starts in the races. With 10 races now complete, the Race Officer will be aiming for three races.

Results after Day Four:
