SOF: Day 2 Went 6-0; Advance To The Gold Fleet
April 26, 2010
Hyeres, France

It was another good day for Team Tunnicliffe at the Semaine Olympique Francaise here in Hyeres, France.  After sitting around waiting for the wind to fill in, the first group of the day finally got out to complete their three scheduled races before our group got in  the boats to race.  We had four races left in our round, and we won them all, taking our record to 6-0 and winning our round robin group. With this win, we advance to the gold group where we will race for seedings for the quarter-finals.

SOF - 2-0 On Day 1
April 25, 2010
Hyeres, France

Racing started today at the Semaine Olympique Francaise, here in Hyeres, France.  It was a beautiful day in southern France with a light breeze all through the day.  Team Tunnicliffe are in group A for the Match Racers, and meant that we sailed first.  We had a gradient breeze of 4-6kts for our two races.  We won both of the races, and had a bye in the third flight of the round due to a couple of teams not being able to make it to the event.

Finally In France And Ready To Race
April 23, 2010
Hyeres, France

The whole team finally arrived in France late last night, after five days of  trying, for the Semaine Olympique Francaise , the fourth stop of the ISAF Sailing World Cup. Initially our plan was to arrive on Monday of this week, so as to have a week of training with the Spanish and French teams.  However, our plans changed, to getting here in any way possible before racing started, thanks to the Ejkilas;dfa;sdfjk (Eyjafjallajokull) volcano.  As with many travelers this past week, we had flights cancelled on us numerous times, but finally we ended up finding and coordinating three flights and other modes of transport, that eventually got us here.
