Puma Clinch Another 3rd PlaceAs the Warsash Spring Series draws to a close the team aboard Puma Logic enjoyed another challenging race with a top result. There has been a considerable improvement in the standard of sailing aboard Puma during the series, which is endorsed by the good results.
The race was both physically and tactically challenging and the team rose to the occasion. Enjoying sunshine and a good breeze for the duration of the race was a bonus. Puma Logic had a great start and was in the top half of the fleet for the entire race.
The interesting course set by the race committee required some excellent teamwork to pull off some difficult manoeuvres. The mark roundings were very busy with three different fleets converging on a few of them at the same time. Despite loosing out badly on the final rounding Puma stormed over the finish line with an excellent 3rd place.
Puma Logic now lies in 5th place in the series. When the discard is applied to the results Puma is just four points behind 2nd place! It is all very close with just a few points separating 2nd place from 7th! It is all to play for in the final race.
Jaguar Logic was also racing at the weekend. She had a team aboard who were doing their ‘Introduction to Racing’ course. It proved very successful and everyone had a fantastic time. There were many smiling faces at the end of the week and everyone is looking forward to coming back next weekend for more. Posted by Philippe Falle at 12:45 PM Leave Comment
