Last day…

August 4, 2024

Today was the last day in the regatta Cowes Week 2024. The wind looked in our favour and we had a reasonable chance to end as 3rd in our IRC-5 Class. We only had to keep ZARAFA two places behind us.

Instead ok keeping ZARAFA behind us she managed to stay in front us so we did not become 3rd but 5th.

Winsome went well, we did not make any mistakes, boat handling was perfect and the wind of 15-18 knots was in our favour. We were most of the time covered by other boats and never had for a longer time a free wind.

Next year another Cowes Week.

So we all set out with a clear objective: to win! The conditions were perfect, with a steady 10-12 knots breeze from the […]
