A look back to the notorious 2008 RORC Red Funnel Easter Challenge from the library of http://www.boatson.tv
Gale force winds on the Solent kept the fleet indoors for the most of the weekend but on the last day the racing was EPIC!!!!
Niklas Zennstrom had his new RAN (TP52 the ex champion PATCHES) out in the heavy weather for the first time and here you will see her at warp speed charging through the fleet.
Capsizes, broken masts, the action was full-on.
Enjoy a classic gale force weekend in Cowes.
(Ross Cameron, Geoff Waller, John Wyatt and the crew captured all the action on the water and from the Castle Air chopper.)
Thank you to Trish Jenkins and Eddie Warden-Owen, Louay Habib, Bridgette Morgan, Peter Marsden, Darcy MacLean.
No sailing for the first two days as a big pressure system rolled over the Solent and Cowes so the sailors had time for discussions and briefing and the Pubs. Day 3 saw a reduced fleet get out for two huge races in the blustery conditions. Broken masts, rollovers, roundups burst over the fleet and our chopper got all the action.
