Aug 7th Regatta - McKinsey & Watson Wyatt Worldwide group

Today we hosted the 'McKinsey & Watson Wyatt Worldwide' group for a team building experience. As with most of our regattas everyone had a blast and lived to sail another day.

Here you see the result of unclear communication between captain and crew. If you look closely you will see that the J22 has fouled against the race mark and as a result is dragging it in the water. This has pretty much finished their chances of winning the race and has introduced a whole new level of challenges. They now have to figure out how to untangle the buoy from the keel.... this typically involves one lucky soul getting into the water.



In this second shot you can see our race committee boat has arrived to offer assistance. They had an extra willing body to brave the 70 degree water to untangle the buoy from the keel. Seems there was no shortage of offers to get into the water... at 70 degrees its perfect for swimming.



Bumblebee was also out today for a small group sail. If you look closely at the shot you will see that she is sailing under the jib alone.

As a racing thoroughbred it doesn't take much wind to get her gliding through the water making for a fun and relaxing sail.
