Delivery record

Well a new competition has started. Delivery times between Mandurah and Perth.

2 weeks ago John and Matt had a great sail from Perth to Mandurah arriving before the galley in Mandurah opened and looked to be holding the record.

Last night we managed a new record of 3 hours and 52 minutes from Mandurah to Perth in a nice 22 knot southerly. This includes a short period of uodwind work for a photo shoot of the new number 4 oH and some upwind work with the kite up by Matt that we wont mention (much). A nice looking sail at that, well done boys in the loft.

Adam achieved the unwritten with a beer in one hand GPS in the other and somehow still managed to steer the yacht with the kite up. Remember the rule is only one toy in the playpen!

Meanwhile Matt breaking this rule achieived the best speed of 11.8 knots but this was shortlived when he decided to crash and burn while Andrew was on the head. But we should mention the fact that he did not spill his beer. Once again one toy in the playpen boys!

A nice sail and the crew is all looking forward to the Bunbury Classic on the weekend...... stay tuned for updates........
