Race 13 - Day 4
Skipper Report
26 July

Good morning all,

And it seems we've passed the major miles stone of this final race to Liverpool as we rounded Virtual Waypoint Fastnet at 0212 this morning. This marked the end of our slog upwind and we are now making a nice 12 knots with the wind on our beam.

The crew worked their socks of yesterday and the decisions we made going up wind allowed us to bridge the gap to some of the boats ahead. It appears Liverpool 2018 has the bit between its teeth and has stretched away from the whole fleet. I guess the team are keen to get to their home port. Right now we are flying the Yankee 2 and a reefed mainsail, and after the next waypoint off the Scilly Isles, we should be back to proper downwind weather.
