Royal Sovereign Race (I and II)
This weekend was spend racing to Eastbourne via the Royal Sovereign platform on Saturday, and racing back directly to Shoreham on the Sunday.
here is one of us on the Saturday, a beautiful day with enough breeze to get us there on the cruising chute
we won the race down there, which was great and on Sunday we turned around and came back, racing from Eastbourne to Beachy Head and back to Shoreham.
the conditions were big, with 25-35 knots of wind and some fairly large waves. After some mistakes at the start we managed to pull it together and get back in good time, only just loosing out on first place.
overall we came 1st for the event as the race down counts for more points. This is one better than we did last year.
