What time have they called tomorrow morning’s start?
Seems to me they could in theory run a double elimination early for the pros, not least because the amateurs and other fleets have to register.
It’s just that the forecast suggests early wind, peaking at about 10am. The direction could be more onshore than today, but still with a reasonable angle from the right, and the waves should be bigger.
Nothing wrong with a starboard tack event of course. ‘Bout time the south coast sailors like Hancock and Coxy got a look in, haha.

well I think it’s all very tight! On paper with Horrocks where he is now with a good result Jamie could take it, but all depends on a lot of other things too. For sure they will try for a double for the pros, but the single result is the most important, with this done the focus is now to get results for the other fleets first I would guess; of course this is just my opinion and final say will go to Duncan! Not sure if results will be announced tonight or held for tomorrow but we will publish as soon as possible!

Let’s hope it’s still light enough for the head judge to read his calculator then.

So, either way, it had been a good year for Tabou and Gaastra then.

So where does this leave Phil Horrocks overall.?
And will there be a double for the pros if there’s early wind tomorrow?

I can’t see the cam because I’m following this on me fone.
But I’ll take your word for it.

I guess it’s lighter there because it’s further west.
It was dark at 6pm here in Brighton.
