Quote from last year "Here we are again, one year on and in the wash up one place better... so that’s 10th, 9th and now 8th in the last three champs. Consistent if nothing else. Gotta Love It 7 and Coxo et al again had a great tussle, Seve and crew coming out on top, saving the best til last with a runaway victory in Race Seven. Their boat speed, crew work and general boat handling is so much better than the rest of the fleet that they extracted themselves from daily tangles to come through race after race. Heaven forbid if they started cleanly and consistently."
This year we managed to keep everyone on board and injury free for the whole regatta and in turn were rewarded with a podium 3rd overall. Tickled pink. Contrast to last year and Seve did start well and so 7 and Coxo/Linksey/Trent finished 1st/2nd and quite some points ahead of us. They both have massive support network, money and resources to burn but nonetheless great team efforts and the two crews continue to dominate the event. We scrapped on to the podium, nothing to pick between us, Red Claw, Howie, Smeg, Woody, and Budgen.
