What a fantastic weekend in Dublin that was, we managed to complete the Descent and only capsized (and swam) on the final weir when an octopus sucked John right out of his seat!
Finishing time of 3hours 21minutes, 6th out of the 14 topo-duos in our class...and we took all the harder lines!
My thanks to my pilot and rear gunner John from our ugly sister club.. Putney C C.
A few figures:
This year saw the largest entry to date.
| Total number of competitors | 1020 |
| Number of boats | 721 |
| Number of boats finished | 656 |
| Boats failed to finish | 65 |
Will add more pictures soon.

I'm not sure if the tache is hiding a look of terror, or a village person waiting to break out, but it looks like you had a ball.
Good stuff.

You should see Chas when he has got his cowboy outfit on.
Well done on another trip abroad flying the CAP flag. How many other people were racing knackered Duos out of interest or were you first in that particular class.
I called over as many duo's together at the pre-start eddy as I could;
did you know our yellow/gold one is a limited edition? We came 6th so finished in the top half just as we wished for. 14 duo's in all.
