Yep!!! We may not hav got the early results we wanted this season but we sure got it right when it came to picking a skipper and sheet hand to fill in for Iain and I!!!!! Creig and Benny were CST's Super Subs on sunday sailing an amazing race which saw them in the lead for the first two laps until an unfortunate capsize that was all Kyles fault hahahaha (Kidding Kyle you're alright).
A 6th place at the end of the race was the best result of the season and Gooby and I are certainly going to have to lift our game and get some results on the board if we we want to keep our spots on the team, our reputations in tact and Clive "MR CST" happy.
All the footage of the race is on www.sailcam.tv/
With only a little bit of boat work to do things should be right for this Sunday and We are hoping it is fresh so that we can get our speedy little rig up and have a good race.
Start is at 2:30 and I want to see some more supporters down there to cheer us on!!!! Come out on the ferry for the afternoon, experience the harbour, the racing, make a bet, enjoy a drink, fun time and cheer us on!!!!!!
