SYC Christmas Series 2008, 2 November - 14 December

I'm afraid pressures of work made it impossible for me to keep the Christmas Series blog up to date - it was a struggle finding the time to keep the boat going. Anyway I'm pleased to report that after a titanic struggle with Bathstore... we won!

For the IRC podium to be decided on the final race with only 2 seconds of corrected time splitting 1st and 2nd place is as close as racing gets. If Bathstore had held onto that plane for just another few meters, or perhaps not broached out on the first leg they would have clinched it...

Hats off to Bathstore who gave us a very hard fight. As mentioned at the unofficial Christmas Cracker meal at Tosca's, Barda got some payback after the Summer, so with the score one all in our tussle with Bathstore we'll be looking forwards to the Spring Series.

Special thanks to Tracey Thomas for organising the meal, and also to all those who did Race Officer duty. Whilst we are out having fun they are stood shivering on the beach. We salute you!

Merry Christmas from team Barda
