First at the start is not as important as first at the finish ! Vinyl Solutions' false dawn was soon quashed as the five other J24s, all carrying genoas in the decreasing breeze, overhauled the initial leader, carrying a smaller jib, before even exiting the harbour! The fierce outgoing tide provided thrills and spills, and plenty of foredeck squeals, on our way to rounding Swash Channel buoy no.2. The spinnaker run return was placid in comparison as the fleet hugged the Training Bank. Flying Colours did well to lead most of the race whilst Jolly Roger swapped places once in a while but could not hold on, so Flying Colours took the final honours.

1st 4266 Flying Colours
2nd 4270 Jolly Roger
3rd 4265 Madeleine
