It really was a glamour race, top weather, we've never ever EVER had such a pleasant ride down & back along the WA coast

We scored 6th overall, pretty happy with that, particularly considering half our crew are new & have not done any significant offshore racing.
Next outing will be the Iberia race Fri 13 Feb, about 100nm down to Bunbury then Busselton (GBRW starts after that).
All the best!
