2 009 ATLANTIC RALLY FOR CR UISER S
THE BEST BITS OF THE VOYAGE
• Seeing a Minke whale, which followed us, swimming under the boat • T e downwind sailing. ARC 2009 had terrifi c weather, with good
for 3 hours. An amazing experience!
winds every day and some memorable downwind sailing. Fizz was ideally suited to these conditions and really showed her paces. An enormously capable boat.
• Watching the shooting stars while on night watch. • T e camaraderie and the sense of achievement particularly when
we crossed the fi nish line. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. Chris Willis, Fizz of Cowes
“All in all it was fulfi lling a dream I have long held, after seeing an Oyster 56 called Kathara sailing off St Vincent with an ARC fl ag on it 15 years ago. A great experience, Gwylan has been a rock-star, just the perfect boat for such a voyage. She behaved well and put up with all of our 'operator error'.
Planning this trip and having it as an objective has been a great motivator for my wife Nicky and myself after the dark days of breast cancer, chemo and radiotherapy. I think it has helped us through that in a big way. Nicky pushed me not to put it off, and so here we are. Her provisioning, happiness-creating skills, sailing skills (she is now a much better helm than me because she doesn’t overdo it), made for crew cohesion in a way you will all recognise. It has been very special to do this with my wife. Being able to sail together is a great part of our lives and marriage and I am very lucky to have her to do it with.”
Charles Manby, Gwylan
