RC44's in Portsmouth 2016 Adventures of a Sailor Girl
Chris Bake has been involved with the RC44's since the beginning, ten years ago. His team, Team Aqua came second in Portsmouth, giving them the overall lead for the RC44 World Tour for 2016, the 'Golden Wheels'.

Was great to chat with Chris about all things to do with the class, his team, and also to thank him for having me out on the final day of racing to see what the class is all about. Gorgeous boat, lovely people, and exceptionally tight one design racing.

What more could you want? Well check out the interview to see!
