Actually it was at least a stable force 4 during the whole race, with a high 4/low 5 in the beginning.

See the measurement graph below. The race was running from 13:00 onwards if I remember correctly and halve the fleet had finished by 16:30.

Force 3 = 3.4 till 5.4 m/s (6.6 till 10.5 knots)
Force 4 = 5.5 till 7.9 m/s (10.5 till 15.4 knots)
Force 5 = 8.0 till 10.7 m/s (15.4 till 20.8 knots)





Scooby, I can give you more weather and course info if you so require. Things like graphs of tidal current speed and wind direction etc. I can also give you to locations of the various bouy which you may use to form the course in Google Earth or something. Basically I got enough data to analyse the race.
