One race was held today off Carlisle Bay in Barbados, West Indies, under sunny skies and winds ranging from 14 to 18 knots. The fleet was very aggressive on the start line today with it being the last chance for teams to secure their final spots on the results sheet. It took five attempts, three of them under a black flag, before the fleet finally got off to a clean start. With the delay in the day’s first race, it was not possible to start a tenth and final race for the series since the start time limit had expired.

In the end, nine races were completed for this year’s championship, allowing the competitors to discard their worst 2 races from the score sheet.

The final top ten are as follows:

1st – Chips Howarth, Vyv Townend (GBR)
2nd – Matt Burge, Richard Wagstaff (GBR)
3rd – David Edwards, Simon Potts (GBR)
4th – Matt Findlay, Richard Anderton (GBR)
5th – Ben Schulz, Phillip Bowley (AUS)
6th – David Wade, Tim Saunders (GBR)
7th – Robin Inns, Joel Coultas (AUS)
8th – Tim Rush, Russ Clark (GBR)
9th – Martin Kubovy, Milan Cap (CZE)
10th – Kevin Hope, Russell Thorne (GBR)
