It seems that any boat with a dog in the name is destined not to finish the mini transat class Fastnet race this year. First Mad Dog (Jake Jefferries) and then Mad Spaniel (Aussie Geoff Dunium) have had to turn back from the Bishop Rock - Fastnet leg of the race and head for that well-known fishing port in the far west of Cornwall, Newlyn. Must be something of a homing instinct in Geoff's Solo Sails?!!
Next question is, will sailmaker Woody be a hero and give the boys a dry warm bed for the night when they get in?
