Fastnet 2009 Commodore Yachting crew on the start line

Adelaide Star Fastnet start line 2009

Commodore Yachting Fastnet entrant Adelaide Star waits for the starting gun at the beginning of the 2009 Fastnet Race. Along with 300 competing yachts and over 2500 crew, the Commodore Yachting crew eagerly anticipate the 308 miles of racing between the Cowes start and the finish in Plymouth after rounding the Fastnet Rock off the coast of Ireland. Crew member Bob Dargen told me just before the yacht left Cowes to make its way to the start and that he was looking forward to the start of an adventure as he embarked upon his first Fastnet Race and glad to part of a great crew. Bob first sailed with Commodore Yachting when he took his RYA Day Skipper several years ago and appreciates that  Adelaide Star  will not be the fastest boat in her class but will provide a fantastic opportunity to get into racing.
