#74 Two Yacht Races and a Dog

Kate returns to Swinging the Lamp from the superyacht Bayesian in St. Peter Port to recount a hectic few weeks of Corinthian racing and cruising. She narrates the Triangle race that was cut short by a savage Celtic Sea low, turning the intended course into a shortened “sausage” but leaving the crew with a proud second-in-class finish. The conversation moves through logistics, local hospitality in Kinsale, and the Royal Cornwall organisers’ democratic call to protect smaller boats. The episode blends vivid port vignettes with race-day choices and salty anecdotes from life afloat.
