XXI Trofeo Peñon de Ifach

As mentioned earlier, I had to pass on the initial regattas of the season (due to obvious reasons...e.g. Mick birth at 5:34am on April 10th found the B-Crew (my dad & co) in front of Tagomago fighting with an upcoming gale at the past Ruta de la Sal)).  

That's why I was very much looking forward to our first real test with the A-Crew at one of the best regattas of the season, the prestigious XXI Trofeo Peñon de Ifach.  A two leg regatta, Calpe-Formentera-Calpe, with a great rest day in beatiful Formentera. 

Competition was tough, very good sailors indeed, but I think with the learnings of this edition and some serious training, we'll be much better next time. (standings if interested here).  We also faced some heavy duty waves with Beaufort 6 winds on the second leg that round up three days of great sailing in all possible conditions. 

Can't wait for the next one.
