1pm update
1 pm update:
Sailing Logic is in the paper! For those of you discerning enough to read the Daily Telegraph, look at the back page of the sports section and you will see a photo of Puma Logic at the start yesterday…..looking great as well!
We have now spoken to the skippers of the yachts safely in port and all are well, just grateful to be out of the washing machine conditions in the Channel. The infamous Fastnet Race beer tent had not even being put up yet so the bar at the marina is pretty full with fragrant sailors at the moment.
Bongani and Jaguar Logic continue to storm along and are heading their respective classes at 1pm. Anticipation, the 40.7 leading Class 1 for a few hours seems to have headed to Falmouth leaving Jaguar fighting for first place along with Philosophie IV, another Beneteau 40.7.
In Class 2, Bongani are well clear ahead in first place, even beating one of the other Sailing Logic yachts, Exabyte 3 on the water, which is excellent. Bongani is a Pronavia 38, which is the newer version of the Reflex 38 like Jaguar. She is a little heavier than the Reflex yachts and therefore the conditions the yachts are facing at the moment means that it will favour Bongani, which is all the better. Reflex yachts always go better when its windy rather than light winds so although we don’t wish for any more gales, we wish the wind to still blow as this will be good for the teams results.

Been following the blog and was really sorry to hear about Tom and Puma….
Best wishes to Philippe, Sara, Stuart (you should know better!) and the crew. Pleased to hear you are all safe, and good call Philippe, you are the utmost professional!
It’s seems strange to be sitting this end of the messages this time round.... Go Jaguar!
Best regards,
