APOLLO, ex Beau Geste, 4th overall in slow Fastnet
Well done Apollo, Nigel Passmore and crew. After a second place in the RORC Channel Race (behind RAN) now a very good 4th overall for this 2003 Farr Design that started its life as Beau Geste. And thus beating the brand new Farr 80 Beau Geste, skippered by Gavin Brady, finishing 7th overall.
