The VC speaks:
The Admiral is a genius! Neither in the Admiral's Barge had sailed since early January, and he pulls off two bullets!
First race – started before most of the fleet had slipped out of the warm coffee fug in the clubhouse - Mervyn was a tad early, slid off down the line, opening the door for the AB to slip in front of XFC and boss the first beat! Slightly expected to have every one trample past, but only the XFC pressed us, and a nifty gybe saw us home.
Second race – fuller fleet, and port biased line saw plenty shouting and a nifty port start from Ian and Brett (super boat?). Initially we bugged out right, and some instinctive helming saw us nip round at the top mark – pressed by Ian and Brett and XFC – far too close at many points, but a CALCULATED carry on the last leg (cheeky Datchetman!) saw us home – grins all round on the way in!
The next 13th cups are November 2011 and May 2012.
