We all finally arrived in Auckland on Saturday morning, and spent the weekend adjusting our body clocks and watching a bit of the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series. We had a chance over the last two days to go sailing on the Elliott 6’s as to get a bit of practise on the boats before we start racing. Tomorrow is registration, followed by a final practise session before we start racing on Thursday.
Luckily, we were able to get the last years winner of the event to come out with us today and show us of few of the tricks with the boat. Unfortunately, we are the only team competing that have not sailed the Elliott 6’s before. But, the three of us are now fairly confident about our crew work and think that after another days training we will be up to a level where we can give it our best shot.
