PRO Bruce Golison has made it quite clear that the final warning of the day only needs to be before 2 o’clock. There will be an eighth race…

RC is sending scores to the fleets… Course 4, 1.4nm, bearing 195…

Volpe leads by two going into the final race, Warpath is second and in third, Rod Jabin on Ramrod.

A high-pitched and feverish start for the final race of the Championship. Warpath fouled Volpe behind the line on the start, Warpath completes a penalty turn. In the meantime, Ramrod stays clear of the commotion and heads out to the right for pressure…

Pisces chooses the pin…

Arethusa OCS…

Upwind they go…
