Achilles series
For the first time in the history of WSC racing is taking place during the whole calendar.
In the final race of the Achilles Heel series, Rumrunner pulled throught against Nickel Coin, Orion and Katrina. All crews cleared the ice off the decks and heading into a 23 knot north easterly with lots of chop and a biting wind the competitors envied those in the yard scraping down the bottoms of their boats!
With a blue sky and bright sunshine, all the competing boats had a good start on a square line set by Steve Fraser on Pippa, after a long tight beat Orion, Nickel Coin and Rumrunner all went round the windward mark shouting the odds, but with a swift hoist and choosing to sail deep, Rumrunner had established a gap by the leeward mark, she went on to consolidate that lead over the ensuing three laps to win the series by two points over Nickel Coin.
Alan Glover donated the stainless steel yacht trophy.
