RORC De Guingand Bowl 13-14 June Trevor
and the team took Flying Formula to yet another superb result
- 22nd out of 79 entrants in IRC (http://csorc.blogspot.com).
The crew have now completed the qualifying mileage for the
Fastnet, but the next event will be St Malo in July.
IDOR (The Interdepartmental Offshore Regatta) 2009
(31st May to 5th June). The event was dominated by high pressure
and very light easterly winds. Much of the fleet was timed
out on Tuesday's long raceafter spending half the morning
tacking on the spot at Hurst, and racing was abandoned on
Thursday, however conditions on Friday improved with a bit
more wind to finish off the regatta. Keep an eye on the IDOR
page for full results. And have a look at our blog
here.
Rolex Fastnet You can follow Trevor and the crew's
progress through the qualifiers and the race itself through the Fastnet
blog at http://csorc.blogspot.com.
The campaign is well underway with two qualifiers now in the bag. The
Cervantes race to Le Havre put 120 miles on the account and proved a
successful shakedown for the crew. We got 38th place overall, 12th out
of 26 in IRC3, and we were the fastest Sigma 38! In the Myth of Malham
we were 38th (again!) in IRC overall, out of 72 finishers - 59 didn't
finish. In IRC3 we were 7th. A superb result in very testing light winds.
