Last weekends Sotogrande to Ceuta Yacht Race got off to a slow start with light airs and strong tides.
Noticia wriggled away through the wind holes behind the rock of Gibraltar to take first place overall, followed by Suka, Ciudad de Ceuta and Seawolf in Fourth place.
The result left us second in class and fourth overall out of 17 competing boats, a great effort by all on board who were all new to yacht racing having completed only 1 evenings training prior to this race, well done to all who sailed with us.

The Sotogrande Winter league reached its finale this weekend, with the unfortunate last minute cancellation of the final race in the series. This resulted in Victory being awarded to Seawolf of Southampton as we had a 7 point lead prior to the cancellation. After 8 closely fought races commencing back in October 2008 the final points standing, taking in to account 1 discard are:
First..........Seawolf of Southampton.....10 points
Second......Midasound(Fendemares)...17 points
Third.........Titicaca..................................20 points
Training and racing throughout this series with a mostly novice crew, makes the successful out come all the more rewarding. Well done to everybody who sailed with us.
