Ceri, great coverage of the event on the Overpower site, congrats to you and OP! The videos on SailTV are really good also.

Good to see people are focusing more on the coverage of the events, I think if FW can be covering events like the PWA does, there's great leverage for the sailors to promote themselves and help attract more sponsors... which in turn means there will be more of us able to do the full tours in the future!

Sorry I missed it. Hoping to get to Sopot but if not I'll be ready for the Euros in Leba.
