Bright sun, combined with a west to southwest wind of 16-22 knots, are providing perfect conditions for the final day of racing at Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week.
All classes started on schedule and the western Solent is becoming full of spinnakers making a spectacular sight. Black Group boats are scheduled to start finishing on the Royal Yacht Squadron line from 1330 onwards, passing close to the shore under spinnaker.
