The final day of racing at Panerai British Classic Week could not have been more exciting as the podium positions for all classes were decided.

For some, who were in with a chance of victory, it was tense and exciting racing, while others simply enjoyed the fun of one final sail in the company of their fellow classic yacht enthusiasts.
