Doing it Wellington style


Yeap, another Ross 930. This time we have Splash Palace

This time we have Splash Palace or as I heard her called once 'the Wellington Worry', mind you they were probably more refering to the skipper.

The mighty Splash Palace is out sailing a lot and has quite a record. There is some nasty romour she is quicker than the Auckland boats but only in winds over 30kts, which is a nice gentle sailing day in Wellington.

Not too sure if she is as quick without the trapeze action but it's a good shot so enjoy.
