Second by 9 seconds.

Remembered the video camera for the Hugh Rose Trophy out to St Aldhelm's and back. It was a long beat short tacking up the beautiful jurassic coast. Started of with the lapper and tack changed to the genoa just before the Arish Mell buoy. Bear away set at the St Aldhelm's ledge buoy and a gybe somewhere inshore. Had a horrible wrap on the gybe (my fault) but managed to get out of it by pinging the guy clip and bringing the spi back to the deck before re-hoisting. Top boat speed about 7.8 knots I think.

Lovely weather and a good race. We sorted out that squeak on the tiller!
