The End Game-

It was the last race day today, just one race.
The current was strong going over the line and there was 8-15 kts of wind.

The race oficer had no choice but to use a black flag on all 3 races, which was good as there weren't many black flagged.

Scott and Ollie in race 15a had a squarish line and a steady wind, Scott finished 9th and Ollie 33.  In race 15b there was a ridiculious right shift off the start which left many stranded including Matt, this was totally unpredicable!

In race 15c, Arran went well up the first leg to be early mid fleet at the windward mark, and Josh was well up the fleet too.
Arran had a difficult last windward leg  going too far right to finish 48 whilst Josh went further left to finish 35.

Overall, a lot learned from this Worlds, Asia seems to be dominating things right now

Scott 50 - 14th European.
Ollie  63
Arran 143
Matt  145
Josh 179

Out of the top 230 optimist sailors in the world.

Prize giving tonight,  beach in the morning, flight to KL tommorrow afternoon and fly home on Sunday morning.
