Speed bumps for the Galloway's


Starting with the flight to Hong Kong, things weren't going to plan for father and son, Fraser and Angus Galloway and their entry for the Regetta. Starting with no paperwork to enter European air space, the boat owner also did not supply rudder box and tiller.

Race day 1 - Things continued to go wrong when broken mast step left the guys towed home.

Race day 2 - After some communication errors, the guys finished 6th and placing 11th overall.

Race day 3 - With continued no luck, the guys ended up capsizing and turned around.

With three races left, Fraser comments how this is the worst and most expensive Regetta in his life.

Fraser concludes that tomorrow they will venture back into the valley of death with the intension of taking no prisoners.

Head up and good luck Fraser and Angus Galloway!
