Round the Island Race update
Some details:
We are in ISC class B. This is the class for big fat cruising yachts. Dave says our handicap is pretty unfavourable so Andy and I will have to shed a few pounds. He also made some mysterious comment about the engine being fortunately quiet and putting the heavier crew members in the dinghy.
Our start time is 7.20 am, so we'll be visible outside Cowes at around that time and again (hopefully) about 10 hours later at 5 pm ish. Our sail number is 8755T so keen people with binoculars will be able to spot our boat.
