"Tracker" is Jerry Bottrill's
Victoria 30 and recently it came to the attention of the Website
Editor that she had taken part in the 2008 Round The Island Race. Not
only had she taken part and completed the course but had actually done
rather well.
The only photographs we had to
hand of "Tracker" and Jerry were taken at the 2006 and 2008 rallies to
Cowes. Jerry always tries to support the Association rallies and this
year he actually organised the rally itself.
To discover more of The Round
The Island Race, I contacted Jerry and I can do no better than
reproduce his account here.
"We had a very good race in
almost perfect conditions for the boat.
Summary of results as
follows.
On corrected time we finished
overall in position 169 out of I believe 1548
boats that completed the course.
That was position 51 in our
division, 14 in our group and 1st in the Victoria section.
Overall laps time was 9 hours
23 minutes. |
