Sun very very Fast 3300!

Here is the second of Andrew's interviews in Kinsale with competitors in the Yachting Monthly Celtic Triangle Race. While a storm breaks over the harbour bound fleet, Chris takes us on a tour of his formidable boat Rockit. The SunFast 3300 is the go to boat for serious offshore short handed racing and Chris who retired following a health scare has thrown himself into making this boat the best it can be, it's truly a stunning machine and I hope this boat tour brings it to life. Chris is a fantastic chap to chat to about sailing so I hope you enjoy this episode. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
