Calshot Update

We've had a good start to our few days in Calshot. Very briefly, yesterday was breezy and on the number two rig. After a poor start in the first race we found ourselves at the top mark in first place. However, the kite wasnt rigged well so, the entire fleet passed us before the kite could be fixed and we retired from the race. Second race we were in second most of the way until new team Ronstan cut a shorter corner on the last mark to leave us in third. The last race saw the wind die and our number two rig slowed as the number ones pulled away.

Today was a number one day. We missed the first race due to the longest wait known to man for a cooked breakfast and made it just in time to cross the line last for the second race. We managed to claw back to get in touch with the fleet by the last lap and knew we needed a solid result for the last race of the day. The last race saw us calling starboard on Pica trying a port tack flyer and followed them and Ronstan round the course to finish in third. We're sitting in 4th overall with 3 races left and hoping to pick up a place tomorrow.


After tomorrow, we head out to Hungary where we're promised that temperatures get well above 20!
