Bekking, der for tiden har en bog til salg, skriver til minbaad.dk fra Australien:
Miami in Farr 40 was just a very tough regatta for us and everybody else, big windshifts.
We had several finishes where we just missed out.....photo finishes, it could have been a 3rd, but instead it became a 7 or 8th when a flock of boats went through the line: no excuse as such,that is sailing, but it happened several times to us.
Our speed was good, and we made huge improvements downwind. The regatta should have lasted another days, as we performed better and better.
Now in Sydney sailing on a new 80 ft canting keeler, first day 25-30 knots, big seas outside of the Heads, fun to go really fast again, hitting tops of 28 knots!!!
