Westerly 20mph all day. Terrific planing conditions for todays marathon race. The top half of the fleet racing for the most prized cup in Firefly sailing, the Sir Ralph Gore Trophy, and the 2nd half of the fleet competing for the Marlow Cup.
Team RSC got into the prizes with F8 (Fate) finishing 6th in the Marlow Fleet at the hands of Guy and Katie, and with a little help from some gaffa tape holding the planks in place underneath!
Winner of the Gore was Stuart and Jane Hudson by a country-mile, winning by some 3 minutes. Top RSC boat was myself and Liz, finishing 10th...we think. In which case we will be Pathfinder for the gate start tomorrow, yikes! Ah - just seen the results and we came 11th today, so our pathfinding will have to wait another time.
Dave and Betty finished a few boats behind us
