News from Stevo: regular Crew Boss on
Xena, Richard ("Bicky") Bicknell, is on
Ranger in the J Class Regatta at Falmouth. He's in charge upwind/downwind trim. Downwind they pop a 10,000 sq ft kite! (five times
Xena's....).
Must be awesome to see four of these monsters battling each other.....
Race One:
Ranger first on water and on handicap -- and that for the lowest hcp boat!
Check out the site
here. The Race
One (Ranger first). Race
Two (Ranger second). Race
Three (Ranger second).
LATER: Ranger pipped Velsheda to overall Regatta win: they win on count-back, what's more, as both finished with 4 points! Results, Report Race 5.

ReplyDeletePeter,
Sorry mate don’t know how to put a comment on the blog will get G to show me when I’m back tomorrow!
It was a fantastic regatta, coming down to the last race made it really special having 23-27knts made it scary!!
Home for 10 days then back up for the Solent regatta which will be interesting in the confined area.
