Rolex Fastnet Race
Monday’s start was a nerve racking experience for me. My biggest dread of the race was to be short tacking out of the needles channel. Sure enough, after numerous tacks to get me from the Squadron line to Yarmouth it then took a further fourteen tacks before I cleared the needles! When there is only a crew of two and there are many things to remember to do all at the same time it becomes quite traumatic.
