Woozle Hunter finished 2nd in the EAORA Harwich to Ramsgate race last weekend, in a light wind passage race that saw many competitors, resorting to motor and a d.n.f.
In typical ‘never say die’ attitude, Ian & Laura Ivermee and their crew which included Lydia Coffey (Ned Kelly Skipper), completed the race in 12.5 hours, in company with much higher rated boats, and just missed out on first place by 3 minutes on corrected time from Eclipse sailing out of the Haven Ports YC.
With just 2 races left in the EAORA series, Woozle Hunter sits on top of the leader board and looks firm favourite to take the series win from Ape-X, another HPYC boat, 3rd in the race to Ramsgate, who needs to win both remaining races.
It’s been a super series so far for the Woozles, and with 5 wins in a 7 to count series, there’s every possibility of them notching up a perfect score.
Go Woozles!
