Here are some more photos from Friday's sea adventures with the Ecover Extreme 40 team.

Check out the amazing weather. Bruno Dubois from the Ecover team explained that with only 1 keel in the water the drag is 50% less (makes sense), meaning faster!












Meet the team. Smiles all round.












Sadie gets the chance to steer. Hilarious when we realised she was closing her eyes!












Starting cannon (see the smoke) for the first race. It seems to me that one of the most complicated parts of the event is getting on the start line just at the right moment. Five cannons at 1 minute intervals build up to the start. If you're over the line on the fifth cannon you're out!
