Yesterday morning, five boats could have won the JJ Giltinan International, the 2009 18 footer World titles - finally in a light and shifty race, a big wind shift turned the fleet upside down and South Cross Constructions who had lead the series after race six, came out on top.

Here are Allan Barron's images from the final race.
