How is Emilee holding up for Nigel? I'm glad to see that Nigel is including his daughter, but I was really surprised to see her crewing in an event like this. I know my 13 year old daughter would not have the strength and stamina to handle a 5 day event, more less handle the spin. Is she able to hoist and douse the spin? I noticed one picture that it appeared that he was doing it. ....don't get me wrong.. I'm not casting stones. I'm glad to see more dad/kid teams and it makes it a lot more fun when I take one of my daughters to a regatta and there are other kids racing. I've been racing with my daughters for 4 years now, but only at certain events on the H16. Not sure my 9 or 13 year old could do more than just be rail meat on an F18.
