Day one... bit of a war of attrition, some breakages, many couldn't get to the race area due to some strong wind and confused seas... all the latest results, reports and images can be found on the BW website:

Grreat job Jeremy as aways. Keeping us poor folks who have to worh tomorrow up to date. Sounds like real fun down there four races and only 2 vintage boats have posted a finish....sounds a bit like my record at Burton.

more images posted from todays races (Sunday). Was another hard day, and the sail back in was one not to ever forget ... wind over tide in the entrance to the estuary! Reports will come but right now it is time for some sleep!

...next time, write your report with a Mac!

Pictures are impressive! Some crews were kind enough to capsize, in order to let us see wing-rudders!

....wing-rudder? What is THE decision?

Congratulations to Neil Mcinnes. I don't know if anybody noticed but he managed to nurse home the first singled bottomed boat, obviously quite a disadvantage in those conditions, perhaps indicating thet the committee was wrong in allowing double bottomed boats into the AC fleet.

From someone who couldn't be at haylimg Island this year, I just wanted to say, I really enjoyed viewing the images and reading the reports, as the weekend progressed. Many thanks Jeremy, great job!

Lovely video Jeremy - how noble of you to hang back in order to film the rest of the fleet!
