Nice series of pics see from them that Audrien was also lifted from the seat. Solent stings at the best of times glad nobody was hurt.

Nice compliant number on the boat this time round though

Not 100% as they had to add some weight due to their headers, but must be at least 4,500kg based on the rules

After those photos I think using the term headers is inappropriate, for this week at least!!!

Did you find the car keys? Did you get your boat out the pits? We borrowed a local Landrover to get up the slope, the Audi was not up for it.

Thanks to everyone for your support at the weekend. It's brilliant to have so many friends supporting us and to meet up with so many people we had'nt seen in ages. It all makes a big difference!

Its just a shame we did'nt have more time to spend catching up.

The pictures we've seen have been absolutely fantastic, and really capture the various 'moments' we had . I have to admit, I never thought our boat could fly so high and for so far!

Now onto Portugal...........
