I'm not sure you're supposed to be able to see through there... and that con rod looks a bit... banana'd 😬🍌

We have made it back to Cowes after our leisurely cruise down Southampton water and across the Solent. Now she's back inside ready for the post mortem...

And we're off back to Cowes. 2 hours at 6 knots 😁

Well despite the awful weather, and running on only one engine, we did successfully make it to Shamrock Quay today. The only problem is, on the way we may have added some extra cooling passages to the port engine... 🤦‍♂️

Therefore, unfortunately, we are not going to be racing tomorrow. After months of hard work we have been beaten by a total mechanical failure. Back to the workshop we go... The good news is we have a new block already lined up, and we'll be working even harder to get her back out and on the start line next time.

We will be heading back to Cowes tomorrow, so if you see us pottering along at 6 knots give us a wave 👋 (or a tow 😅)

A huge thanks to all that have helped us get this far in the first place, we couldn't do it without you 🍌💛

More testing today, the weather was too beautiful to not go out for a cruise! As always, trying to find the weak points before race day. Looking forward to next weekend's Round the Island race🍌💪

Less than 3 weeks to go until Round the Island 2026! 🍌🏁

We'll be back out on the water this Friday (1st) running from Cowes for some more pre-season testing, we should be up and running from around mid day for an hour or two. Keep an eye out and you may spot us! 😁

We are still on the lookout for more sponsors to join us this year, so if you or someone you know may be interested please drop us a message. 💪
