Aon racing won 2 of their 3 remaining races, meaning they fall short of qualifying for the next round of the Argo Gold Cup, a World Tour regatta in Bermuda. The day started badly for the team, with bowman Mousey getting injured in a practice hoist. In strong winds the spinnaker set before the halyard was cleated, stripping 6m of rope through his hands in about half a second. Fortunately the medic boat was able to tape him back together and get him back on board in time to race. We lost our first race, but lifted our game to take the remaining two races, This left us on 3 wins, one win short...

After qualifying 5th for the Quarter Finals stage of the event Aon Racing was left racing the Australians, Keith Swinton and his Black Swan Racing team. We were greeted in the morning by a solid 30+ knot Northerly which delayed racing until midday. There was still plenty of excitement at the pier, with the yacht club house boat breaking several dock lines and a thick chain in the wind and swell.
The wind abated as forecast and we raced in winds up to 23knots. Keith Swinton sailed extremely well in the breezy conditions to win the contest 3-0. We were not without chances,...
