Great way to finish off the 470 European Champs today! It was always going to be tough to try and move up the leader board, but we did all we could today, with a nice clean race sailed… We had a great start and picked our way up the course to round the top mark in the lead just ahead of the Austrians who by the way have sailed amazingly this week… The downwind was very tight, but we just got the crucial gybe in, and from there we were able to sail away for the race win.
It was then just a matter of waiting to see where the French and the Austrians ended up to see where we would finish overall. Luckily for us, we got one out of two, and managed to move up the overall standings to finish the Euro’s in 2nd overall. Happy to say thats a PB for us, the last time we sailed in a European champs was way back in 2009, where we kind of fluked it into 3rd! So at least this was one better, and a little more convincing!!
Then came the real struggle of the day, the pack up… It was incredibly hot (the car temperature guage was showing 28 degrees at 7pm) and we had rather a lot of gear to wash and sort out, so that we are all set when we come back for the Worlds La Rochelle. Finally home now, so packing everything up ready to leave early tomorrow morning, and begin our rather epic trek of a drive to La Rochelle where we will leave our gear. Its only 1840km… haha, and we have about a day and a half to do it in… Bring on the driving shifts…. The fun of campaigning in Europe!!

A rather annoying day today for Team Jolly… There was not much wind at all so we were delayed on shore for a few hours before finally heading out to race… We had a great start and had all the options available to us, but made the wrong call on the first upwind leg, and were way back in the pack again… Once again we did what we could to catch up, but there was not much left to do, and so we ended the regatta with a disappointing 9th placing in race 9.
By then it was 5pm so we got sent ashore with the last race of the day cancelled, which was a bit of a bugger.. as we could have done with another race!! So we go into tomorrow’s medal race in 3rd overall, eleven points off 1st and nine points off 2nd, then another nine points back to 4th. So with only eight boats in the medal race that is rather a few points to make up, but its all good, nothing like a good challenge!! Looks like the breeze will be back in tomorrow, so looking forward to a good race tomorrow!
Another beautiful day at the #470Euros, two last races of opening series today, then medal race tomorrow… Time to give it heaps!!
Slightly better day today at #470Euros a race that was going very bad, but got back to 8th, and then a 2nd in race 2. http://t.co/rV1kYqM9gl
