British podium success on the 'Bay'

With a 2nd place in the final race the 'Crackerjack' team from Royal Lymington Y.C. secured 3rd place overall in the American Folkboat Association's 2013 San Francisco Cup. This is the best placed finishing position by a British team since the beginning of the regatta. It also means that Stuart, Caroline & Matthew have made it their most successful season adding this result to the Nordic National title they won in June and the Open Division title they won during Folkboat Week in August.

Congratulations go to them and also to both David Wilson (USA) for a convincing win and Richmond Yacht Club for hosting a terrific event.
