Countdown to the Fastnet Race

As the last few days countdown to the start of the Fastnet Race on Sunday 9 August, preparations for Jangada Too are almost complete. The barn floor is strewn with bags ready for transfer to the boat - sails, food, water, clothes.

Focus now switches from kit lists, checklists, crew lists, waypoint lists (and so the list goes on) to a weather watch. Forecast is for high pressure and light winds - looks like its going to be a long hot race. Just as well we have plenty of anchor line onboard.

Meanwhile, Co-Skipper Jeremy is busy honing his skills in the X One Design Fleet at Cowes Week and celebrating a 1st place in Monday's race -congratulations.
