Pilot Cutter Review 2011
Seen here are four pilot cutters coming round the turning mark to go out on the 2nd circuit of the course. The order as they approach the turning mark is Alpha to windward of Cornubia followed by Mascotte to windward of Marian. They where about five minutes behind the lead pilot cutter was Edith Gray newly launched in Bristol and making a name for herself at the Pilot Cutter review.
Watch the last pilot cutter Marian as she take the turning mark on the inside and overtakes three pilot cutters in one neat move.
Marian held on to her second position for the rest of the race.
Congratulations to Edith Gray for winning all four races and being the Champion Pilot Cutter for 2011.
