I say your success is all due to your expert crew! Maybe also the Merlin's impressive and redemptive speed off the line, keeping the boat flat and hitting all those shifts so nicely,
Back at the Brum & leaving the Phantom of the Lake in your wake. Fit, trim & in good form following on from a fine showing at Salcombe. Do you have any on-board footage of some those amazing Salcombe starts?
Thanks! I don't unfortunately, the Merlin rules only really allow mounting on the rudder, and I don't trust the rest of the fleet not to knock it off on those starts. We also felt we could do without the distraction, as Salcombe is stressful enough! It would be great footage though, so maybe I need to take the risk next time!

She is doing really well, that's for sure! We were definitely lucky on the line, we would have been in trouble if the Solo was a faster boat!
She'll make a good sailor out of you one day.... hahahah.
thanks for your video and comments. very helpful
Ha ha, I'm sure she would agree!
