Topic : Southport 24 hour race

This weekend sailing with Adam McGovern I completed the 24 hour race with no brakes or change over�s. 

By completing the event we have managed to raise about �1500 once the sponsorship for Sail 4 Cancer. With this in mind will merlin sailors who sponsored me please give me the promised money at Parkstone this weekend or the Inlands.

There is the option to donate directly online but am not sure where or how that works.

Thanks for all your support for Sail4Cancer.

Prefere it if people who promised money dont use that link because I will not be able to keep track of who has paid or not.
