Burnsco Winter cans series AUG 3rd

After spending Saturday in the rain cleaning C V's bottom with the dock brush I was looking forward to the Sunday afternoon race.
But it wasn't to be, I was called into work??
Crew :- Patrick on the helm with Knoxy, Alix, Jenna, Howdie, Steve.
I can only pass on what I was told as I could't see them from the Tug.
A good start in 4-5 knots which topped 8 knots during the race.
1st at the top mark ahead of Blackout, they held their lead on the next beat then down to the finish, Ballistic (Ross 930) managed to pass Blackout at the top mark to take out 2nd, Blackout 3rd, Wild Thing (Young 8.4) 4th, Redline (Ross 930) 5th, Geralda (Elliott 6.5) 6th, Future Feedback (Young 11) 7th 4minutes 40 sec separating the 1st 7 boats, C V winning margin 1 minute 40 sec, not bad in only a 40 minute race.
I have taken some flack about how well C V went without me, Just shows what a well rounded crew we have, we can drop key players and still she goes well. MY Excuse anyway

Next race Marine & General Bolder Bank Race
