Friday nights dodgy vindaloo comes back to haunt the navugator of V16 as all the boats head out to the start line.

Caughing & spluttering its way out to the start sounding like a demented lambretta..

I wonder who 1st built that lump;p;

Probably my only decent photo of the day:

It seems Matt's hard work with the spanners on Friday had paid off, Mr Noisy in full throws as he heads round the Needles...

...looking easy, sounding awesome!

Shame about my lack of Zoom!

Carly Baby seems to have shaken off his hangover.

A Phantom 21 in the Basic Race. Not sure of its final position, but it came around the needles with a fair sized swell...in nice shape.

A race deck phantom from a previous era???

quite a contrast as it sported its obviousely original interior and a brand new optimax!

Wonderful pics Captain, but lets be fair. We were just 'Mr. Semi-Quiet' on our 3 hour trip back to the pits. St. Cats to Cowes at 6 knots. Now I know what sailing is like and I hate sailing.

One more thing, the more I think about it the more I think that your comment about Matt and Johnsons's engineering skills is right. If it wasn't for their interference, I would be now looking at a nice shiny trophy instead of a ceiling that needs painting. Those bs.....tds!
