Jessica Watson visits MHYC Inshore Race

Jessica Watson made a cameo appearance on Saturday for the inshore race on November 5 aboard David Ross's Cape 31, Kukukerchu.

Jessica (OAM) navigated some of the world’s most remote oceans and survived seven knockdowns and 210 days alone at sea to become the youngest person to sail solo, nonstop around the world, aged 16. What an inspiration!

The inshore fleet of MHYC boats enjoyed a sunny day on the harbour with 8-12 knot east nor easterly breeze taking them on a course 12.

David Ross took out first place in the IRC on Kukukerchu with a second place in PHS with Rob Carr coming first in PHS and second in IRC on Rumba in Division 12.

In Division 3 Marc Tromp came in first place on Waterborne Again followed by Dania (Peter Charteris) in second place and Innamincka (John Crawford) in third.

In the Adams 10 fleet Jim Vaughan had a successful day on Another Dilemma coming first in both One Design and PHS results with Artemis taking second place on

One Design and third in the PHS. Brian Lees came third in One Design on Contentious.
