After a tough day on the water the team finished on 3 wins and 1 loss in variable conditions racing from the Royal St George Yacht Club. The racing was very close between the 6 international teams and the 6 local Irish teams. The team has been improving race by race on the J80 yachts and is full of confidence going into the second day. Every team has had at least one loss so it’s important we have a solid round robin has the forecast tomorrow is for another very light day.
An interesting feature to this regatta is the GPS tracking which each race been uploaded on TackTracker:
The team also has some other exciting news with being granted the final entry spot to the grade 1 event next week in France. This is a great opportunity for the team especially given it’s the first grade one event racing against the top teams in the world. The event is on the same boats as Ireland so we will be familiar with the boats.
Thanks to Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, Zhik and Ron Tough for their continued support.
