RWYC Racing
Having had a great 6m Worlds warm up regatta in the Solent in which they finished 1st, RWYC Members Andy and Lisa Postle are holding their own in the main event. The 6m Classics worlds is being held in parallel to the 6m Opens but is by no means any easier. With the likes of Jerry Trenteseaux, Shirley Robertson, Henry Bomby and olympic hopeful Chris Taylor in the fleet, this is no push over! Day 1 saw a steady 6th and 8th but day 2 has been a little tough with a RET and 9th. Take the RET away and there is all to play for and a long way to go! Keep an eye on yachtscoring.com/event_results_cumulative.cfm?eid=15687 and wish them well!Port of Plymouth Sailing AssociationUllman Sails UKAllspars ... See MoreSee Less

Almost there!!!Yesterday saw the closest finish yet in the '500 race, with just under 1 hour 8 minutes separating both boats on the water. Both enjoyed a fresh Easterly breeze as they traversed the sound and entered the Cattewater to finally finish an epic second edition of the Plymouth Fastnet 500. Videos of both finishes are now available on the www.facebook.com/rwycracing Facebook page. During which time Nova was battling to find some consistent breeze due south of Penzance. With light and shifty winds overnight, Nova was making slow progress East towards the finish, often under 2 knots SOG. But if we know anything about this crew, they are resilient! This morning however paints a very different picture as they enjoy a building southerly breeze and are averaging 4 knots in the right direction! Currently around 18-20knots, the breeze is only going to build and free their angle to make their final stretch into the finish line off the RWYC clubhouse the most enjoyable it could be.It has been without question a herculean effort for this crew, with very little around them to gauge their performance, they have managed to sail a strong course and have kept fighting when others have fallen by the wayside. We expect Nova to cross the finish line at any time from 1800hrs this evening and we hope for a tremendous welcoming cheer from their many followers, who must win the top accolade for being the most supportive social media following of the entire race!A reminder, the prize giving is planned for 1900hrs this evening. We will confirm later today once we are assured of Nova's finish time.Photo; Light winds off the Isles of Scilly - Nova searching for breeze ... See MoreSee Less
