Race 10 – 12ft Skiff Interdominions

A tight finish to the regatta, with the first 3 skiffs crossing the line within 8 seconds. Gemmell took it as well as the overall championship win, making it 4 in-a-row for Nick Press. A fitting lumpy 3rd rig for the last race and whilst the competition was strong, the arms were getting weak. Another general recall started the day and Variety suffered under the black flag, despite their strong performance and a capsize around the last windward mark. The gate course was causing havoc for a few with Giddy Up blocking the way for a long while, but it was great for spectating as the boats could get in nice and close to the action.

A big thanks to the sponsors, Harsco Infrastructure, CG Composites, Zhik, PB Towage and as always Maerskline for container shipping. Our volunteers put in a monumental effort to ensure the event ran smoothly. The Matrix provided a great platform for spectators as well.
