Sotogrande Winter League 2008 Final Race
Monday, May 26, 2008
Saturday 24th May saw the final yacht race of the Sotogrande Winter League.A strong breeze led to mixed choices of sail plans amongst the fleet, reefs, no reefs, number 1s to number 3s!!!
Seawolf opted for full main sail and number one, which proved to be the best choice, rounding the windward mark in second place. We held this position for the remainder of the race having another good beat and blisteringly fast final run to the finish.
This second place over the line, led to to our overall place in the 7 race series being raised to 
fourth, a great result against stiff competition from the 21 Spanish yachts that campaigned the series.
