Rear Admiral's Cup 2 - Hugh Rose Trophy

We battled on saturday to actually finish the race, but there was no wind to be had quite soon after we'd rounded the windward mark at Arish Mell in third place. In fact there were only two finishers of the race Snow Goose and a half tonner from the RNSA called High Hopes which looked like a good fast boat.

Darren and Kerry had gone on Manana as we had too many people and Mickey didn't have enough in the light airs. It was fun trading tacks with them and watching them hoist all the headsails that they had including the drifter and the blooper. Manana's offshore track seemed better than our inshore when the wind shut off!

Still a nice day out on the water but no results for WSC boats in this race. Let's hope we have good breeze for the third and final race on 27th. I'm absolutely determined that the cup is coming to our club this year!
