The recent few days has seen a surge in activity at the Windsport boat park with almost all the remaining teams arriving and frantically setting up tents / boats. Intricate preparations are being made by all the teams to be ready for some more settled weather, and ICCC event proper. With intermittent breaks in some strong gusty weather conditions we have seen a few boats take to the Carrick Roads off Mylor.
It is clear that all these boats are technically advanced and tick the very high performance sailing category. With boats travelling in excess of 20 and sometimes even 30 knots in goes without saying that there are thrills and spills to match any elite sport.
