Timoneer wins Dubois Cup

Timoneer wins light-airs gybing duel at Dubois Cup 2011. Luck, judgement and light airs conspired to create classic competition during the 2011 Dubois Cup. Veteran cruising yacht Timoneer took full advantage of contrary conditions and fickle breezes that ought not to have favoured the heavier boats, and took both line honours and the overall prize. “You’ve got to be either clever or lucky to do what we did, and today we were both,” said her jubilant skipper and helmsman, Phil Wade.
