The 80th anniversary Round The Island Race saw a record number of entries - 1908! However, the race will probably be etched into most people's memory for other reasons! In stark contrast to the glorious blue skies and gentle breezes from last year, the 2011 race was marked by strong winds and rough seas, which put many competitors off before they even started. There were several dismastings, a few capsized catamarans and the odd man over-board - although fortunately none of these were Sailing Logic boats.
Sailing Logic were thrilled to have had a record 9 yachts entered! - 4 corporate groups, 2 group bookings and 3 boats of individuals.
Visit Malta Puma crewed by a team of individuals who had never raced together before did extremely well finishing 4th (out of 44) in Division 1B, which is a fantastic result as this is really competitive class! Well done to Becky and her crew. And Quokka in class 1A, won the Schoolboat Trophy! - well done to the team, who were put together by Nick McLoughlin and skippered by Philippe!
