Day two of the Toyota International Macth Race for the Detroit Cup was filled with great races, but not as many wins as we had hoped. We finished the day 2-4 to take our overall record to 7-4. We are currently tied for first, but six teams have to finish their full compliment of races tomorrow to finalize the final round robin scores.

Bronze In Weymouth; Next, To Defend The Detroit Cup

August 16, 2010
Ft. Lauderdale,FL

Team Tunnicliffe arrived home yesterday evening from the UK having won the Bronze medal at the Skandia Sail For Gold regatta. I apologize for the short report immediately following the regatta, but it was a bit of a run around with not much time. We had to clean our rental house, pack up our Elliotts into our team shed, then drive to London and fly back to the US.
