By the end of week 7 in the 8-Sunday race series, Sailing Logic’s Visit Malta Puma, under the expert guidance of skipper Tim Thubron, have such an unassailable lead heading into the last race this coming Sunday that they cannot be beaten!
What a great position to be in - the team can race with no pressure and enjoy the day! The crew have sailed brilliantly all series, mainly finishing 1st or 2nd in IRC Class 1.
After the end of the 4th weekend, when Puma was very badly damaged in a collision, there were fears over how long she might take to be repaired and would the crew take some time to settle back into their groove? However, local repairers Desty’s Marine, worked tirelessly to see Puma back on the water in just 10 days and the team dusted themselves off, and got straight back into the thick of it. Their tenacity and great teamwork has proved a winning formula and they can justifiably be very proud of themselves!
Snapping at their heels all series have been the team on Jaguar Logic, led by Skipper Peter Burwood and mates, Fi Walker and Mike Martin. Jaguar posted some seriously good early series results and have been very consistent since, earning themselves 4th place going into the last race on Sunday. They are just 1 point behind 3rd place and only 3 points behind 2nd place, so there is everything to race for! It’s a fantastic achievement for a team who have not raced together before and what a marvellous achievement it would be to see them on the podium along with Puma..... go for it guys!!!
