Cowes Week 2022, day 6

August 5, 2022

Today we won not only on the water (6th time), but also on rating (2nd time).

It was a perfect race for us, no mistakes were made. Winsome crossed the Solent like a dolphin.

Leen was the only one who observed that our course was shortened at the sailing mark The Boss. Without his observation we would have continued to the RYS finish line and be disqualified. He saved my neck, since this was one of my responsibilities.

Whooper’s crew congratulated us with sportman behaviour.

We are now 2nd in our class, with no realistic chance to win anymore or get 3rd. Technically it would still be possible to become 1st, or 3rd or even lower. Explanations are free of charge.

Tomorrow is our last race. This was the shortest blog of this week.
