…and has every right to, as the Dufourt 45e was named Boat of the Year in the 40-49′ class by Cruising World ( http://www.cruisingworld.com/sailboats/boat-reviews/new-thinking-is-the-common-denominator-for-2011?page=0,2). And we’re all looking forward to the Sunk Race, Cannonball Race and EAORA Weeks with a Band of Brothers & Others. Particularly looking forward to racing against a boat in the same class that rates 300 dots higher. Bizarre or what? HB IV currently lying in Bradwell Marina ready for the start at Mersea at 0710 on Saturday morning. Follow her progress on Twitter – @JJPJ.
