The Docklands Cup Day 9th December 2007

Vicki and Sid had a challenging start in their first races but they recovered well and excelled for the rest of the day. Vicki helped out another team, Aviva, and in her first race with them they ran off course. However on her next outing with Aviva she steered them to victory. Sid had a similar mishap with us in our first race but then in the next he steered a straight course to help our power 12 team win our heat. From then on neither Sid or Vicki had any problems in steering. Well done Vicki and Sid. Thank you for you efforts. Keep up the good work.
