I read this guys blog every day in an attempt to be informed about the going's on in the world of big boys/girls boats.

FOLLOW THE LEADER

What started out as a drifter turned into a great days racing. Every boat had a go at the front and, at the back, with positions changing at every mark. Thankfully the wind freshened towards the middle of the race and it wasn't until the top mark for the final time that Hugh pulled away to win.
