RDYC midsummer regatta

Well we put on a good show in 20-25 knots of breeze today. Overall third I think posting a second in the morning and a third in the afternoon. Only seconds in it though and Farr Out was flying recording 11.7 knots on one surf!

Crew: Dave Evans (foredeck), Steve HB (mast), Darren Aston (pit), Rich Veale (main), me (helm).

A great sail for us, but a poorly attended regatta , well two races, with a lot of retirements. Sapphire held a big broach in front of us which was actually caused by the tiller extension snapping off.

We were really happy with her heavy weather performance especially upwind where we were keeping pace well.
