Yep, got a mizzen staysail, but for a Needles to Cherbourg crossing in a prevailing SWerly, its probably only going to get an outing on the return leg.

mmm... perhaps need to race back too.

mmm . . . I had not noticed the course.

I think you need to specify a 'gentleman's race' (eg gentlemen don't sail to weather!) and for the race down to go with a NW forecast and a SW back!

Or look for +25kts.
