Helly Hansen Merlin Rocket Week 2025 at Salcombe Yacht Club - Day 5

The fifth morning dawned with wall to wall sunshine and a 5 knot SW sea breeze popped in at the surprisingly early time of 8.30, promising a good day's racing for the 102 teams. There was more drama on the start line, this time in the afternoon race with a general recall and boats black flagged. We have commentary from the morning and afternoon starts, as well as an interview with Simon and Anna Blake, winners of Race 9. Going into the final day, Tom and Rachel are vulnerable having been BFD meaning a number of teams could win if they slip up again. They will need a fourth if Christian and Sam win and they are in the same race. Interesting!
