I agree with cfun, was really looking forward to seeing the winged monster arrive at Lowestoft this weekend.

Oh dear.... it looks like Jon & Nick's appeal wasn't successful as swipewipes.co.uk is now listed as 17th in the updated results.

It also appears as though Mike, Dave and Graham had a successful appeal as Hot Lemon is now in 4th overall.

That's because we didn't appeal

Aparently the damage to the red Buzzi was a lot worse than a couple of props and rudders. I was told that the engine drives were vertually pulled out of two engines and any repair has proved short lived resulting in both engines dumping their oil in the bilge.

I'm so glad that Hot Lemon V was successfull in their appeal and moved up to fouth place. And Graham might have been batting for the dark side for ten days or so but things will return to normal when he goes out in his 25ft Ring hard boat next week.

Looks like Jon & Nick are giving it some. If Marinetrack is to be believed they are currently leading the pack!

That plot from RB Challenger is old data - from yesterday - so can probably disregarded, unless anyone on the ground can verify it?

Braveheart and GuttaBoyz, also shown on land, were plotted at 05:00 this morning so that's got to be treated as unreliable info.

Cinzano hasn't had the transmitter on for some time, so I don't know if anyone can jump to a conclusion - may have been de-registered from MarineTrack as not listed in the RB2 category.

Looks like the 'swipes are struggling a bit now - 4th in class and way down the leaderboard. More engine problem perhaps?

Over half way through the leg now, and Wettpunkt have a massive lead. Then it's Blue FPT, Venturer, Lionhead (and Gutter Boys on the other Goldfish are out there somewhere with no tracker), Vilda, Bandit, Silverline. Way to go Bandit!
