2015 Campaign

Campaigning for the 2015 AZAB Race & Rolex Fastnet Race

Monday 2 June 2014

Scillies

Our race got off to a good start, with the gun firing on HMS Kent.  One of the leading boats out past Plymouth Breakwater, we knew that the pressure would be on. We had a tactical race to the west, tacking on the wind shifts.  But light winds around the Scilly Isles have left us frustrated with boats catching up with us and others slipping away. We have now turned the corner, avoiding the Traffic Separation Zone to the west of the Scillies and enjoying a fresh breeze and close haul to Kinsale.

  1. Richard had difficulty posting this from the boat so emailed it to me for posting. They are now passed the Scilly Isles and heading in a straight line directly for Kinsale.
