After two years of receiving the Alacrity (!) Cup at the WSC prizegiving and nothing last year, I'm pleased to say that Farr Out won the Spring long distance race yesterday. Something to collect in January is really going to be great, you never know we might collect some others along the way.
It was just Stu, Tracy and myself with Stu driving in a very light airs race that at one time saw us in irons after failing to complete a tack. Dogged persistance worked for us though and we managed to catch the new breeze to catch up with the boats in front: the MGC27 Folio and the Dufour 34 Foxed Again. Handicap gave us the win.
I scrubbed the bottom of the boat by diving on the mooring just prior to the race in brilliant sunshine. The water wasn't very cold at all and the mullet had done a good job of cleaning the keel already.
A great sail and kinda made up for not being able to go offshore for the bank holiday weekend.
