Thursday 3. Bad 1st beat. IRC trophy

So Rattler beat us by 27 seconds last week and 26 seconds this week, we must be improving! Truth is our first beat was horrible, we went right and the rest of 'em left, that always kind of worries you. They must have had a decent lift because we rounded the windward mark in a definitive last place, the Melges 24 was in front of us and they were about 3 minutes late for the start.

Only 5 of us this week and the new guys Jack and Taz did a sterling job whilst they are on their fast learning curve, with the jobs of pit/trim and bow respectively they are certainly kept busy.

We were presented with our trophy for the IRC spring series win, the nice thing was that it was full of Thatcher's Gold cider!
