Tay duo Malcolm and Dannielle Worsley, last years winners, had been consistently in third place in every race until this point but they went better with a second in race four and then a first in race six.

Going into the last day the event was still very open. The Chase SC team and the Maylandsea Bay SC teams were tied on equal points. The Tay duo were a few points behind and would need two wins, with the others down the pack to retain the title.

Their was a further tie for fourth place between Richard LeMare and Stewart Murdoch.

And so it was, the Worsley’s pulled out all the stops. They did what they had to do and won race seven. Howie and Danni were still ahead overall posting a second, but Sam and James had a painful one finishing seventh.

In the final race, the Worsley’s were on fire extending their lead at every mark. Stuck in traffic Howie and Danni rounded the first mark in seventh place. They clawed back places on each round, but it was only on the last off wind leg that they were able to get to third position. Their third place finishing position gave them the championships by one point. Theirs was a popular win. They have nearly been there in several occasions, they sailed a consistent series, and showed great capacity to recover when not at the front.
