Latest victories for Sailing Logic

Morgan Cup Success

Sailing Logic enjoyed huge success in the RORC Morgan Cup race last weekend. In Class 1 we had four boats finish in the top seven which was an amazing achievement for all our teams.

Following a power reach out of the Eastern Solent, Puma and Jaguar were locked in a fierce battle for a long beat which took both boats way West past Portland Bill. Both teams were neck and neck until Puma tacked south to skirt a rain cloud to benefit from a left shift which gained them a quarter of a mile lead.

Puma maintained this lead all the way to the finish and both boats enjoyed a fantastic kite run to the finish hitting speeds of fourteen knots. Puma finished 2nd in Class 1 just seven minutes behind Pen Azen who sailed to their fifth victory. Jaguar finished in a superb 3rd place just ten minutes behind Puma.

Pink Panther and Lion also had a great battle to the finish where they finished in 6th and 7th respectively. What an amazing result all round for our Fastnet teams. Having four boats in the top seven out of the thirty starters is a fantastic achievement.

Round the Island Race, Puma 1st in Class 1B

Puma Logic had a fantastic race in this years Round the Island Race. After a superb start at the Northern end of the line the team worked very hard and were rewarded by being the 1st boat in class around the Needles. With a big lead around the Needles Puma maintained good pace which combined with excellent nav and tactics saw the team clinch victory in class by four minutes.

The team were ecstatic on hearing the news that their win had been confirmed. Champagne, plenty of beer and lots of well deserved celebrating took lace till late in the evening. The only negative point was team Puma missed their training day on Sunday due to a mixture of hangovers, rain and the prizegiving!

The highlight of the weekend for Philippe was recieving the prize and a kiss from double Olympic gold medallist, Shirley Robertson!
