First event as an alumni team - check!
That's right fans, with a new team racing season beginning, we kicked it off in style at our home turf with the Plymouth Pasty 2018!
After making the long trek to Plymouth, we converged on local watering hole "the SU" where all manner of beverages were consumed, and all manner of tunes bopped to.
The following morning, an advance party was sent to roadford to attend the first race (1,2,5 thanks very much) before Richard & Izzy, punctual as ever, turned up in time for the next set of races!
Unfortunately, our "constant 6" was complaining of eye trauma, perhaps one eye shot too many? So emergency first aid was applied and a very fashionable eyepatch was born!
Luckily, W***y T & Marko were on blistering form with plym white old boi Lightning Mc Queen and supercrew Catherine Hunt, and the results rolled in - shockingly no 1,2,6's!! :O
Finishing the day on 5 wins from 5 races, the team headed back to Plymouth for the excitement of a curry social and another night of frivolity!
Sunday dawned, and all sailors were greeted by some conditions at roadford, hefty gusts and hungover sailors are not the best mix, so the decision was made to abandon racing for the day.
This left prizegiving, and with 2 teams on 100% wins it came to a first place tie-break, which.........we lost :(
Congrats to Exetah Red, they'd clearly been putting in hours of research into the 1,2,6 combo and it paid off!
Big up to our Plym White alumnususes, Madeleine Watkins & Nick Devereux and everyone at University of Plymouth Sailing and Powerboating Club top notch event, thoroughly enjoyed by all, bring on Pasty 2019!!
