Dec. 11, 2007 - Fifes take Centre Stage

It's no exageration to say Ierne and The Truant stole the show at Earls Court. Ierne, fresh from an 18 month renovation, was jaw droppingly gorgeous. Did we detect a quiver of recognition as these two majestic old ladies were reunited for the first time since 1914? Maybe, certainly there will be no love lost when they Duel again in June.

The Duel of the Fifes will take place over ten days, each day with places for six guest crew, three on each yacht. You spend a morning on one, pause for lunch then switch to the other for the afternoon so you get to compare how they sail. Members can come as individuals or why not get two crews of three together and make a match of it. 75 points per place including lunch.
