Bubb off the wagon

Nick Bubb has gone from favourite to backbencher after his back breaking choice after the start. West was not the best. Wednesday morning he is in 68th place and has less breeze than the competitors up front. Bubb might end up in another weather system beacause of this.

Phil Sharp on the other hand has managed to recover from the disaster route, and during the night he has moved from 55th to 39th place. He will be doing some more catch up in the coming days.

The Mini-sailors are enjoying NE 20 knots at the moment and one that is definitely enjoying herself is Isabelle Joschke (27). She is holding an impressive 3rd. Joschke is sailing the same boat that Andrew Cape used in 1999 and Sam Davies in 2001. She has been sailing in the class for two years and been among the top ten in most regattas. She is looking to be the best woman in Mini Transit and that means beating Isabelle Autissier 3rd from 1987. It’s about time that records falls.

Corentin Douget is leading the pack south.
