Final Race Day in Antigua

January 29, 2012 | Author admin

It seemed quite obvious that we were not going to win anything with the handicap that we had been given, even after a small adjustment to allow for the fact that we would be sailing without spinnakers. We were relaxed about it and went out in the brightest shirts we could find and intent on having fun. The wind was up again and especially at the start when a squall came through and the wind shifted right and increased. We made a great start at the windward end of the line so we were one of only a few boats that laid the first mark without having to tack. At the later prize giving we were awarded a Magnum of Champagne for having the best start of the whole regatta and the race committee said that we crossed under full power with one second to spare so we were pretty happy with that.

Without the spinnakers we lagged the whole fleet and by the time we got to the leeward mark most boats were way ahead of us. We had put out the fishing lines right at the start line and on the beat back to the finish we had a strike but lost the fish unfortunately. It would have been funny to arrive at the finish with a fish hanging on the backstay!

We finished in 8th place which was out best result so far but that was only because 3 boats had retired with breakages.

We all had a great time and were just sorry that the “boss” could not be on board for a really fun regatta.

Next we head down to St Lucia and the Grenadines for a cruise with guests on board.

Everyone is well and having fun.

Phil
