We were all tired having had no more than an hour's sleep each, but we kept changing the driver to keep things fresh and when we crossed the line we were very, very happy." In the final few miles, we were all praying for more wind and continued to steer for pressure. I was often up in the bow looking at the water, a bit like a pirate in a crow's nest! We have a small sail wardrobe, just a simple headsail and an all-purpose spinnaker, so with few options there our main strategy was to stay out of the foul tide as much as possible. "All of the team drive, and we steered around as may wind holes as we could see and looked at how the boats ahead of us were doing. "We didn't have the best start but someone once told me you make your own luck and when we caught up in the park up off Ventnor, the crew did an amazing job of keeping us going." commented Gavin Doyle. Duff Lite's crew was James Ainsworth, and Nicola Tilche. Skipper of the winning boat Corby 25 Duff Lite is RORC member Gavin Doyle, who hails from the National Yacht Club, Dublin.
