The RORC Griffin Team flies around Giraglia! Congratulations to the RORC Griffin Team of Lydia Barber & Josh Dawson for taking runner up in the Eurosaf Mixed Offshore European Championship. Racing in a Figaro 3 provided to the RORC as wild card entry with a free charter and regatta entry. The European Championship is part of the Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour. The RORC team of Lydia Barber & Josh Dawson racing San Marco was just under two hours behind the winning Team Anemos sailed by Roberta Fazzana & Andrea Caracci. The RORC Team raced from La Spezia to Genoa via the Giraglia Rock in an elapsed time of 2 days 11 hrs 25 mins 5 secs. Lydia and Josh had a terrific battle at the front of the fleet with just 12 minutes separating second from fourth in a race of nearly two and half days. “Super happy to hold on and finish second in the EUROSAF mixed double handed European Championships!” commented Josh Dawson. “The race was very challenging with every possible set of conditions. We had plenty of drifting, some lightning storms and a fun 25knt blast around Giraglia! “We had a good start and built a five mile lead on Leg One before getting shut down and overtaken behind Elba. The race compressed at the half way point and we then bounced around the top three positions for the rest of the race. Coming into the last 20 miles, we had a small lead in second and tried to hold on through the final shut downs off Genoa. The top four all finished within an hour after 2 and a half days of tight racing. Overall, it has been a great week in Italy!!! Thank you to RORC and the Nastro Rosa tour for the wild card entry.”

Today I sailed home my new to me 1972 Bristol Carvel 22. I purchased for a great deal on eBay, if I told you how much you wouldn’t believe me so don’t even ask . Let’s just stay. It was an awesome deal. So I purchased her without ever looking at the cabin. I saw her from the shoreline, and I fell in love with this vintage sailboat. Now it’s time to start the motor for the very first time and head down the channel in East Greenwich Bay. Then it’s off to Narraganset Bay towards her new slip.  This was a lovely first day of ownership. Come along with me on this journey with Sailing Vessel PAI NEY formally SV WHITE DOVE. Thank you for watching another episode of Solitude And Sailing. Fairwinds and following seas to all.
