Agneta only third, after Solway Maid and Mercury. See the results. The Photo shows a scene from the regatta in 2003. On board a mix of novice and pro, including me. There are Germans, French, Britains, Spanish, trying to act like a team.

We're heading full speed toward the finish line in the narrow harbour of Mahon, Menorca. Some said it was an insanly crazy thing to do, blazing a trail like this, spinnacker fully drawing, but I found it was crazy fun! Image scanned from a local newspaper
