We had a lovely sail down the coast to Burnham on Saturday.
On Sunday morning we started the race quite well. We seemed glued to Otter for the early part of the race but they made the turn much better than we did and we fell further and further behind as we beat back up-river.
Got in a mess later and the jib thrashed about, damaging the foot and the jib-sheet shackle hit the staysail and cut a large slit in it.
The gaffers were made immensely welcome at North Fambridge and the DIY barbecue was great!
Even with no functioning staysail, we had a wonderful sail back home on the Monday.
