Clipper fleet set out from Gosport to St Katherine’s Dock, London. An amazing day for Rachel.
Rachel features twice in Clipper Race official Supporter Group images. This one at the helm of Sanya and another to follow where she is pictured under a GO SANYA banner made by the amazing Liz Teo.

Rachel has completed preparation week on Sanya. Sanya is loaded, ready to go. Photos show Rachel and Su on the coffee grinders preparing to hoist the new mainsail. The van shows £3000 of food ready to load onto Sanya for leg 1. Su is in charge of victualling with Rachel assisting. The black bags represent a days supply for leg 1. (46 in total). Imagine the work involved in unloading the van and allocating the food to each bag.
Preparation week on Sanya for Rachel. Splicing old halyards for sail ties.
Rachel is heading off tomorrow for Preparation week
Rachel sets off tomorrow for Sanya to join the crew for preparation week. This does not involve sailing but does require fitting of new sails and halyards. There are lots of other maintenance jobs and she will also be victualling the boat. I.e. Food shopping.

Last race during training.
Sanya won the last cross channel race this week. Seumas posted on WeChat: And that’s a 1st guys!!
A great achievement for the skipper and the AQP.
Rachel has high hopes of a podium finish on at least one of her legs. That would be amazing.
