A young team in their first 3 Peaks Yacht Race, sailing a boat that has won it many times before.

​

And if you're wondering about the team name, it was overheard in a pub and became the pub quiz team name of 3 of the team who live together.  Now it joins the list of quirky names used in the race!

​

It all seemed like a good idea ... back when it was just an idea. Now it seems like it is happening.  A bunch of my friends and me thought it would be a great idea to do. We have all got into our running and thought it was a great race to pay homage to our racing roots (3 of us all raced on the British Team).
