Dazcat 1495 - MOCRA Nationals Champion 2019

Congratulations to Dazcat 1495 'Hissy Fit' and team for coming 1st overall and winning title of MOCRA National Champions. Multihulls racing were: Hissy Fit (D1495, Simon Biffa Baker) Sueños (D1195, Rupert Kidd) Belladonna (D10, Dominic Gooding) Easy Tiger (D995, Neil Boughton & Julian Weyer Brown) Wombat (Grainger, @Matt Baker) The Edge (Nigel Irens Tri, Chris Briggs) Molly 5 (Fontaine Pajot Maldives, Steve Homewood). Wombat 2nd place Sueños 3rd place Well done to Sueños for coming third while still in cruising mode - while some felt like they were racing from inside a washing machine (Wombat, Edge, Belladonna at times...), Sueños crew remained relatively dry but she raced with washing machine on board, along with all the other liveaboard accumulation of weight (choice of three chopping boards etc!)... In true Westcountry style, we had a great range of wind and weather conditions including scorching sunshine and heavy fog, little wind and quite a lot of wind...Day three saw the fast and furious sailing and on board Sueños we topped 18 knots at one point - loads of fun surfing downwind in 20 knots of breeze with the huge, blue kite up and some spectacular views of the other boats... Thanks to the Royal Western Yacht Club and all their volunteers for putting this on for us and providing the committee boats as well as a great bar and socialising space. Also to MDL Marinas at Queen Anne's Battery for accommodating us and Allspars, Highwater Sails & North Sails for providing the prizes. Also, racing on board the different boats it was a real pleasure to see our Multihull Centre customers, yard team members (Brendan Seward, Matt Theobald, Jaime Ward) and also suppliers from Highwater Sails, Allspar and Matt Owen, PR Solution) as well as friends and family members sailing together and against each other...and personally I really enjoyed racing on board Sueños for the first time. It was a great event and we all had fun, with Plymouth Sound making the perfect location.
