What a day the race started from the South and the early morning breeze was a nice SW wind but by race time time it was East and during the race it swung to the North making it a 35km slug out across a ESE swell with virtually no runs , the Tweed bar as usual was a nasty passage but it made for some exciting racing as the lead and positions changing in just a matter of metres , support boats also struggled to navigate safely through the passage.
Jacko broke a rudder cable in the entrance on his new DC16 so Dale Chapman immediatley swapped boards with him , what great a effort , Dale finished the entire race on Jackos board with a broken rudder.
