Jaguar Logic Win Race Four

Jaguar Logic, skippered by Tim Thubron, sailed an excellent race on Sunday in strong and challenging winds in race four of the Garmin Hamble Winter Series. The conditions were perfect for an exciting day of racing with blue skies and 18 – 23 knots of breeze.

Jaguar Logic had an excellent start and sailed a tactically perfect 1st beat to lead around the 1st mark. This lead they kept to the finish line. They were pushed hard all the way with Premier Flair always close on their heels. A jubilant and very happy returned to Shamrock Quay for their post race celebrations.

Puma Logic also had another great result. After struggling on the first beat Puma Logic found themselves pinned in a position they really did not want to be in and lagged behind the first mark, in 7th place! By the second mark Puma was nearly five minutes behind Jaguar!

With excellent teamwork, well executed manoeuvres and great boat speed Puma Logic clawed back steadily throughout the race and picked one boat off at a time, eventually finishing one minute behind Jaguar Logic in 2nd place. So it was a 1st and 2nd place for Sailing Logic boats. What an achievement!

At the half way stage Puma Logic still lead the Winter Series with Jaguar Logic now in an amazing 2nd place in the series. Panther are not far behind in a good 8th place. It is going to an exciting and tense second half to the series! Go Logic!
