The 2Bsailing all girl team on the Viper F16 set themselves a high goal for this years Carnac event (2010)

And I quote (29 april 2010):

"Brouwer and Wardley have jumped at the chance to reunite on the water for a shot at creating history in the three-day Eurocat regatta in France from friday. "No all-female crew has ever won the Eurocat regatta," said Brouwer ... we thought it would be fun to take on the boys at their own game for a change"


The final result for this year Carnac in the C1 fleet is as follows.

1st Carolijn Brouwer / Liz Wardley Viper F16 - 7 points total : 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st 2nd, 1st, 3rd (one strike-out)
2nd Chris Sproat / Georgina Burke Viper F16 - 14 points total : 4th, 3rd, 3rd, 7th, 1st, 2nd, 1st
3rd Adam Butler / Nikki Boniface Spitfire - 24 points total : 5th, 4th, 6th, 2nd, 5th, 6th, 2nd
4th Gildas Griziaux / Frederique Leaute Viper F16 - 26 points : 2nd, 2nd, 5th, 5th, 7th, 5th, 20th
5th Phillipe Thareau / Claire Berranger Viper F16 - 34 points in total : 7th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, DNF, 4th, 11th
...
9th Gill de Bruyne / Kathleen van den Bulcke Falcon F16 - 57 points total : 14th, 8th, 8th, 8th, 15th, 7th, 12th


That means all 5 F16's have ended up in the top 10 (4 F16's in the top 5 !) of a competitive 54 boats racing fleet; with Brouwer/Wardley achieving what they set out to do.

I say "Mission Accomplished" for the all girl team Brouwer/Wardley !
