Palma Vela 2010
April 21st, 2010Following a quiet winter, the racing season restarted in Palma. Seven Wallys competed in their class. Navigating on y3k, I couldn’t see us being any slower than last year but the others have definitely got faster. Indio has faster antifouling and new sails, Carpet are always optimising and fast in light airs so we had to be happy with fourth. Lets see how the situation develops in breeze. Many thanks to Mr Offen and the crew for the lift home as flights were a bit of a problem.
