ACOOL TURABI

Sun 20 Nov 2011 15:04

The race has started....many boats on the starting line.
We were one of the biggest boats, and had to watch out for all smaller boats.

Weather is good, blowing around 13knts from 003 degrees, and we are doing 11knts.

Acool Turabi is one of the boats leading the way.
We have decided to keep well away Las Palmas before we jibe....some our competitors are closer to the island, but we feel that we will have the advantage.

Best
