Racing in Cape Town was hot! 110 degrees Fahrenheit - Once the Green Flag was dropped - No Problem - A cool Southerly wind!
I used to test my 3B boat in the Med, mid 1980's before the season started - The trick was knowing when to go out - Early mornings spring to mind!

All the blathering will stop when the flag drops Cookee! I will be doing a daily blog to all interested parties world wide exposing the brave and the not so brave, the clever and the careless. It should make for interesting reading/viewing if I add a few pics and you KNOW the pics I can get, ask JF!!

Not quite sure what you're hoping to expose Mike unless you're intending to photograph me waiting at the bar for everyone else.

Vassilis Patteras, winner of the Round Britain Race in 2008 has entered the Cowes to Monte-Carlo Race in 2013. He will be using his race winning boat the 45' Blue FPT built by Fabio Buzzi and powered once again by three up-graded FPT diesel engines. Vassilis will be running with the same crew as in 2008 and with his record must be considered as one of the hot favourites for this race.

Goldfish enter the 2013 Cowes to Monte-Carlo Grand Prix with a 48’ Sports Cruiser powered by twin FPT 560 diesel engines. The Cruiser Class is looking good with four (at the moment) high class contenders competing, three of them work’s teams.
