Thanks Paul, that's my armchair entertainment sorted for tomorrow!

Yes, only 6 days to go! 

The last preparations are about to be finished. Unfortunately, one holding bracket of Ilvy's outboard broke, so I had to organize an exchange motor. I will test an electric outboard for the trip to the starting harbour and back again.

Yes, sure. There will be tracking again!

Hi,

it is that time of the year again: Ilvy is participating in the Silverrudder-Regatta once again, in about a month!

I hope to be able to again get some updates out while racing, mainly via Instagram:

Until then, there's a bit of work ahead: Right now, Ilvy's bottom is that grown full of barnacles, that she is being overtaken on every course by almost every boat :-D One week before the regatta I'll get her hauled out and redo the antifouling.

Cheers

Paul

Congratulations, Paul! That must have been an exciting experience! I wish I could have followed the regatta live!
