The last and only time it's been won by a crew representing our class was Mike Evans in 1962.  Good luck Graham and Zoe (no pressure)

Well done Graham and Zoe, who finished fourth overall - judging by the results it looks like it must have been a windy one today;

Sunday was very windy with a lot of swimming by EVERYONE not just the lightweights.  Well done Graham and Zoe.

Thanks for all your support. We really needed you in the boat on Sunday, an extra person would have been about right. The larger member of the Roly Mo team would have been ideal. As the Y&Y article reports, racing on Saturday was great for us but unfortunately it just got a little too windy on Sunday, we made it round the course but nowhere near quickly enough to keep the lead. The Merlin boys did very well to sail consistently in both the light and windy stuff. The standard of the fleet was excellent so we're pleased to have come forth.
Looking forwards to getting back into the 12
