OUR FINAL YACHT RACE OF THE YEAR
So this is race 5, of the five race Medway Yacht Club Autumn series.
We missed race 1, had a good sail and a 5th in race 2. We won race 3! then had a frustrating time of it in race 4 with a 12th , so we really wanted a good result today. Not just to help with our placing in the over all series but so that we could end the year on a high.
This is what happened
