Congratulations to Alun Black - who took delivery of his new Hanse 320 "Hun Sea baby" on Friday and raced with RPAYC on Wednesday. In variable winds with standard main and self tacking headsail Alun came a creditable 8th out of 14 across the line and 4th on Handicap. Bodes well for settling the boat in and perhaps adding a Genoa for the light stuff!

Comment from a crew member "Yesterday's RPA race went very well with just the self tacker against all others with a genoa. The boat really went well. A good start with a run down to the Clareville mark. We were probably 5th around that which was great. Held up downwind by everyone. Great mark rounding then we out pointed everyone to the Rocky mark & seemed to gain more on most of the others. Then a reach back to Clareville where we held our position except for a Young 88 got through us as the breeze lightened. Then over to Towlers & again held our position but on the way back to the finish behind the island we found our own light hole. 2 with genoas got through us on this final leg. Ended up 8th over the line & 4th on handicap.s from a crew member"
