Hurricane Euros Results......

Originally posted by English Dave DaveK will, I am sure, see this and cut and paste. Not really my place to do so as I didn't write article. Incidentally, conditions were bad enough on Day 1 that water got into my starboard rudder tip through a chip that I thought I had repaired and split it open like a peeled banana!

 

Opps.  BTW, why did Grant have 2 crews, did he break one ?

The race report is too long to post here! (Written by Andy Webb on the 8 hour ferry crossing on the way back - he must have been bored!).

Once I have shortened it a bit it will be coming to the Y&Y mag and website with some photos.

Watch this space!

Dave K already has the event report up on the H59 forum. But for those unlucky few who aren't registered (Scooby), I've posted it on the Ballyholme website and you can find it here.

Not wanting to disagree with the venerable Webby but can I just say that no way was Race8 sailed in a F4. The RO had it at between 21 and 27kts and when the windshift kicked in and the beat turned into a close reach it was effin fast.

Rare picky of me amongst the prize-winners. Third from the left in the back row holding a shield.  (OK so I came 20th after a litany of kit failures. But it's the 20th anniverasy of the class so I got the Anniversary Shield. Go Dave, go Dave, go Dave,...)
