DUNKS Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) This Saturday, my little lad "he's 63" is racing his yacht Spoofer with his son. There is an App you can download to watch the race for anyone interested. He did the Fastnet a couple of years ago and had the distinction of finishing last but at least he did it!. I only wish I could be with him on Sat. Wish him luck. Edited June 27, 2023 by DUNKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCB56 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Hope they have a great day. I've done it twice and enjoyed the day both times. The hardest part is getting to the front of the queue in the yacht haven village bar to get a drink after the race.🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Well there’s a southwesterly breeze 18 to 20 blowing Saturday so should be a fairly fast race best of luck to him 👍😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver One Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Good luck to him. One of my best customers used to be a sponsor for it, Henri Lloyd. I was fortunate enough to be classed as 'staff' and paid very little for VERY expensive gear 😊 Went from Blackpool to Cowes to do their shop for them ( and all the others apart from Torbay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNKS Posted July 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 He's retired from the race half way round. Looks like he lost his mast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler4 Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 I done around the island twice but on a bike. Same weekend as the yacht race quite a few years back. Was good fun and looking to do it again next year. Good reason to get my fitness back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
