Doublehanded from Bermuda – how to follow
Time to race back to Newport. This time with Mattias Bodlund as co-skipper.
The start is at 11:00 EDT Thursday. It looks like a decent southwesterly to get north, then a slight chance of 40+ knots before we enter lighter winds when we approach Newport. The biggest question is, naturally, how to manage the Gulf Stream.
Again, our priority is to finish in one piece. We’ll have a hard time to beat the optimized shorthanded boats in our class, SunFast 3300 and Figaro 2, that will love the conditions. But anything can happen.

A huge thanks to St Georges Dinghy & Sports Club for hosting us in Bermuda! I hope I get to come back soon.
