Carina - 1st in Class in 2011 Fastnet
Thursday August 18, 2011 09:15AM
onCarina finished the 2011 Fastnet Race overnight, and the preliminary results show her 1st in the 72 boat IRC 2 Class and 5th overall - out of about 250 IRC boats.
Congratulations to the entire crew and particularly to the several FBYC members on Board - Skipper Rives Potts, his son Walker, and FBYC Log Streamer Cyane Crump. Surely we will expect an exciting article by Cyane in a soon to be published issue!
Carina rounded Fastnet Rock 2nd in IRC 2 and 18th in Fleet, so she improved her position on the trip back across the Celtic Sea and around the Scilly Isles and Lands End to the finish at Portsmouth.
Meanwhile - Rambler 100 has been towed to Ireland and has been righted.
