Sailing in the big apple

The Team has arrived in New York for the knickerbocker Cup which is the third event of the US grand slam series. After a disappointing regatta in Detroit the team was looking forward to this event. The Knickerbocker is sailed on 40ft yachts purpose built for match racing. Today was our first race day and we have started out well finishing the day on 2 wins and 3 losses that where very close. 

We had great prestarts today always felt in control and managed to get a few penaltys on our opponents. The team will be on first thing tomorrow to take on the second group of competitors so a good feed and sleep tonight and we will be good to go tomorrow.

The team would like to thank
