Ed has been ill recently with Glandular fever. This has been a large setback for the team as we have not been able to train since mid February. I Made the late decision to sail with another crew for The Princess Sofia Regatta that took place 2-8th April. I wanted to do the event with someone that I thought I could learn a lot from, namely, Simon Hiscocks (Simon won Olympic silver in Sydney and Olympic Bronze in Athens crewing the 49er so isn't short of a bit of knowledge). I found the event incredibly useful and sailing with Simon was a great opportunity.
We both hope that we can get training again this week. However Ed's recovery has been relatively slow with the possibility of the illness returning if we go in too hard.
All the best,
James
