Friday August 10th 2001, Author: Lynsey Thomas, Location: United Kingdom
Good visibility and clear skies look set to stay with us not only for todays final day of sailing but also for the famous Cowes fireworks this evening.

The wind is predicted to come from the west-noth-west, and in a similar fashion to yesterday is expected to build from 12-16 knots to 15-20 gusting 25 as the day progresses.

The YMS Bridge buoy and also Guarnard Ledge between 1300 and 1430 will be good places to view the Class 0, 1, 5, 6, 9, Mumm 30s and Sigma 33s.

Class 2, 3, Sigma 38s, and X332 are expected to round Wadworth buoy just off of Yarmouth coast between 1300 and 1400. Class 4, 10, and Contessa 32s are expected to arrive at the Ocean Safety buoy off the coast of West Cowes from 1350.

The Sunsail yachts along with classes 7 and 8 are expected off of the Norris buoy on the coast of East Cowes between 1330 and 1400. The Redwings, Squibs and Flying 15s will be rounding the Gales HSB buoy at 1400 and the rest of the smaller boats, Etchells, Dragons, Melges, 707s, Darings, Sonars and Sonatas, Sunbeams, Swallows and XODs will round the Daks Simpson buoy between 1330 and 1430 again off of the shore line of East Cowes.
