Puma of Paglesham moved down to the solent and I am still on contact with the new owner who is a nice guy and having great fun with her.
This year he came 31st overall in the RTIR out of 1500 ish, I think.
This is a fantastic achievement and he is very happy with the result. Light winds in the first half helped - the boat is pretty much unbeatable in winds up to 8 knots - and if the wind had stayed low he would have done even better.
A write up of Puma's race is on the RAF yacht club website

I am well chuffed for him. Nearly wish we were still selling them /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
