That's a wrap! After an absolute beasting on the Bay for the first three days, the Championship finished with a serene backdrop to give many of the sailors a well deserved rest. Blues skies, sun shining and the wind gently pushed the fleet around the race course for the final three races. Tide and shewd tactics were essential to control for Jeremy Davy and Martin Huett to hold their overnight lead which they did admirably to become the 2016 UK National Champions. Richard Lovering and Matt Alvarado taking second with Greg Wells and Richard Rigg with a second in the last race to clinch the last place on the podium.
