Juno Racing Team – Rolex Middle Sea Race 2012 Campaign
Update – race day
The 20th October – a date that has been in the crew’s diary for months is finally upon us. We had an early start and met on the boat at 07:00. Packed our kit and the last few items and headed out! The start in the grand harbour is always grand, we had an awesome start coming off the start line first and holding that position till shortly after the final mark off Malta.
This is especially good considering we are the lowest rated boat in our class (all the other boats in class 3 are technically faster than us). One italian boat that was just a few meters behind us slammed on a wave and ripped their #2 in half! As you can see from the tracker we’ve decided to stay to the right of the run line still maintaining a good position. We’re now heading towards Sicily in high spirits ready for the night ahead. Good evening everyone and thanks for the support!
