A truely F*kin awesome event once again ,

Winner Andy Mac Pherson (Tornado )who had travelled from Australia to take part likened it to Texcel and the Archiapeligo raid which he had recently completed in stature of challenge , and a race that has to be done !!!



Nessys' breath eventually came to fruition after a slow start 90% of the distance must have been covered in wind that reportedly exceeded 30 knts !! and was totally mind and body numbing FANTASTIC !!, the highs and lows you go through on such a long race in such winds is absolutely amazing and something everycat sailor should experience , the fleet was over 40 boats and despite crews being totally exhausted all vowed to return .



I covered a distance of 50.1 mile and only two capsizes !!!



Can't wait for the next one .



Was also awesome to see the likes of Basillica racing and the beautifully built Tekcat ,



I predict this event has more "monsterous" growth still to come as the word of Nessie now spreads world wide as Nessieites gabble insessantly over a pint when ever the opportunity arises .



If you weren't there you certainly missed out on one of the most challenging and awesome distance races we are lucky to have in the UK .



As they sang at closing time in the pubs of Glasgow in days gone by "come on and have a go " are you up to it ?

There will be more
