History in the making
For the first time in its history, WSC boats are racing throughout the calendar. The Achilles Series started as being a match race between the Achilles 9mtrs Rum Runner and Orion but has developed into a full series with Nickel Coin and Katrina joining in. Steve Fraser on Pippa has acted as Race Officer and has set a gruelling series of up to 3 windward/leeward races each Sunday. The series has been running since early January 2008 with only a couple of Sundays blown out. With one day of racing left on Sunday 17 February it is all still to play for with Rum Runner and Nickel Coin on equal points. Alan Glover has donated a stainless steel yacht figurine as a trophy.
