"We just had to watch ourselves lose places and points. It cost us the regatta as we were sitting in first overall when it happened and were leading that race. We had been consistent over the previous two days."

The day's final race saw gusts up to 25 knots and there was plenty of carnage on the racecourse with capsizes aplenty and kites being blown out left right and centre. Only eight races were sailed from a scheduled 10 due to heinous weather conditions.

“I hope to do more in this class, potentially even internationally. Our crew work was excellent considering the lack of time on the water with this boat and to be just one point out of first after the first two days of racing was wonderful,” Way said.
“Unfortunately two breakdowns on the last day on the boat we chartered cost us a podium finish. However considering the wind strength we were pleased to get through with just a few boat handling probems and we had some exceptional heart stopping, blasting rides.”

“After the gear failure in the first race today it was really great to see everyone jump into their action plans and execute an effective repair,” McKnight said.
“After that we just tried to look ahead and at the time still expected to do three more races and believed we could recover and come back from that as we had been consistent for the entire regatta up until then.
