3 Explorer 16's make it home in a challenging race.
The weather conditions on Saturday 30th April made it a very challenging race for 3 Explorer 16's that successfully completed the race and were placed 2nd ( Fiz IV), 3rd (Old Salt) and 4th (Edna-May) in Division 4 of the 2016 MTYC Four Points Race.
Northerly winds between 15-25 knots with gusts to 30-35 took its toll on the 48 boats in the mixed fleet. A capsize, a broken mast and equipment failures on some of the larger fleet saw only 36 boats make it to the finish line. The 3 little Explorer 16's stood up well in the conditions and were well placed in their Division.
