Again a great turnout.

The distance was 9.7km (Mana to the point and back to Mana), in conditions pretty much identical to Series III, although with the tidal conditions a little more favourable.

Below the results. Many thanks to Tanya for time keeping. If you find any errors please let Joern know at joern.scherzer@gmail.com so that the results can be amended.
