TEAM CONCORDIA QUALIFY

I have great pleasure in posting this blog to say that we have had the official nod from RORC to confirm that Team Concordia and her trusty steed Hot Stuff have qualified for this year's Rolex Fastnet Race.
The team, skippered by Hookie, have worked really hard on ensuring that the races they took part in they actually completed and this has led to them being assured of a place in this year's race. The competition is tough and those boats who did not complete enough miles are being rejected to be replaced by one of the nearly 100 boats on the waiting list.
Determination and dedication will ensure that this team has a great race and do themselves proud and the last few qualifiers have really proved that each member of the crew is up for the challenge and is ready to pull out all the stops to ensure that the race is competitive and safe.

Well done Team Concordia and the blog looks forward to following your progress during the race and we look forward to waving you off from Cowes on Sunday August 9th and welcoming you in to Plymouth a few days later.

GREAT OVERALL POSITION

Team Concordia are currently 12th out of 78 boats in the overall 2009 cumlative results for IRC1 - well done guys - really good sailing.
