Me too - hoping they would of rounded the rock last night, but still beating to windward.

they have a webpage here good luck to them

Re: Blustery Day - Fasnet\'s Lil Hero

Looks like they got a favourable wind shift and should make the rock on this tack.

I wonder what state the cabin is in after three days sailing to windward?

Re: Blustery Day - Fasnet\'s Lil Hero

Just about to round the rock ! All down hill from here... well downwind once the kite goes up /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

And lets have a mention for Voador and Juneau, the only two-handed boats not to retire, and they're both J105s!

Re: Blustery Day - Fasnet\'s Lil Hero

Not sure where Voador is off too - Brittany by chance ?

Re: Blustery Day - Fasnet\'s Lil Hero

[AIDY]

Re: Blustery Day - Fasnet\'s Lil Hero

Yup rounded the fastnet rock at 11.30, rounded pantaenius Buoy and heading for lands end at 7.14 Knots.....

Come on Blustery Day - make sure you get in to plymouth before that sigma 38 that been on your tail for the last day !
