Looking forward to Round the Island Race
Written by Helena Lucas | 22 June 2011
Finally I am having a much needed week off. No sailing, no boat work, just relaxing watching wimbledon and catching up on stuff at home.
Sail for Gold was a really tough week for me and did not go how I had hoped. I was really tired going in to the regatta and I think it showed in my sailing. It feels like I have been non stop for the last 3 months!
The Worlds are just round the corner and in Weymouth so I need to be back on form and put in a good performance. This weekend is the Round the Island race and is a big corporate event for Volvo. It’s my favourite day with Volvo and their VIP guests. This year I’m on a J109 and have the pleasure of Selwyn Cooper (National Coporate Operations Manager, Volvo car U.K) on board along with his VIP guests. I know Selwyn loves the race and I am really looking forward to a great day of sailing and racing with him.
Denise Van Outen and Chris Parker are Volvo’s celebrity guests this year. Lets hope the Weather Brightens and the wind drops a bit or else they may have a rather wet and exciting trip around the Island.
