Hi ForTwo!

Any news on weather forecast/sea conditions?

Need to know whether to bring an extra cushion or not

Jackie

Not anymore, that 'problem' has gone away.

Its not such an issue in the bigger seas anyway. Be assured you will see some proper racing.

About 20 secs in the end I think ... were further ahead but took it easy on the last lap as we had blown a manifold gasket ... sounded like the wheel tappers and shunters club in the back!!

Thanks to everyone for your support :-)

looked through the photos on the P1 site, on the radio they said it was calm but the boats did a lot of leaping around in the photos, it must of been a good swell out there I would assume making things difficult, is the Sif CUV the ex Follett cars CUV or one of the many in Italy
