AHIRW - Day 2 - Ichi Ban and Concubine in the Tavern

2016 Audi Hamilton Island Race Week - Day 2 Nic Douglass / www.AdventuresofaSailorGirl.com
2016 Audi Hamilton Island Race Week - Another gorgeous day on Hamilton Island, but the breeze was not entirely on board with keeping the on-water action up to par with the off-water activities!

I caught up with Matt Allen, owner of Ichi Ban who is now sitting in second in IRC Rating Division One after the team were second across the line to make it two, two.



Next up is Silas Nolan (2:40), who I last caught up with in an airport lounge on the way home from Saint-Barth, the bowman for Proteus Mini Maxi and RAN TP52 has come home to race with local South Australian team Concubine who he has been involved with for a number of years. The less than year-old Mills 40 that he has been involved with since inception is sailing incredibly well to be in third position. There are a number of 'ring-ins' on board including Cocko and Nitro among others, and Silas himself has graduated from the bow to navigation!



Hope you enjoy the action direct from the Tavern!
