This years race had it all ⛵️💨
Lots of upwind sailing, navigational challenges and a belting once we got to Tasman Island. The early hours of 30th Dec, it was like being inside a gigantic washing machine. You couldn’t look into the wind, and at times we couldn’t see the bow of our own boat for all the spray and rain. With 45 knots at times, it was safer to be on deck than inside the boat with the erratic motion, hull slamming and violent wave action.
A true test of seamanship, may we all be inspired by the incredible sailors! 💪
Thank you to the entire rush family for all you do to allow this special yacht to send it south!
