Few Feels like a long time ago now March 26th 2019 the first sail aboard Alexander Hamilton - crew for the delivery trip my very good friend Dan, the very patient previous owner of Alexander Hamilton Ray Lymington and not forgetting one of the finest yacht photographer and filmmaker Alexis Andrews from Antigua. ( needless to say he had no influence on this video )

Hairy conditions on Thursday of Cowes Week which was also the third day of the XOD Centenary regatta. We're aboard XOD Class Captain William Norris's Beatrix with Vernon Nock (64) in the front of the boat and International Foiling Moth sailor (!) Peter Barton on the helm. William couldn't be aboard that day because he was on the Royal Yacht Squadron Platform with the Princess Royal who fired the starting cannon for this special race. In his place was Yachting World editor David Glenn. Unfortunately Beatrix was OCS which was apparently made clear to William Norris by the Princess Royal as the sail numbers were duly called out. We hope he didn't lay the blame too firmly at YW's doorstep! Despite the hiccup it was a truly great day's racing followed by a superb Centenary dinner party for 400 back in Cowes.
