Quick questions:

Have you participated before?
- Reindeer competed in the 2022 race. Our crew included 11year old Orla Fergusson, who has since done two Fastnet Races with us.

What is your best memory from Shetland Race?
- 2022 was pretty tough, and I’m pretty sure the crew would agree that the approach to Lerwick was the highlight. And of course the epic party!

Why are you participating in Fully Crewed class?
- We are going fully crewed as Reindeer is not so easy to race two-handed.

What are your expectations to sail during nighttime, midsummer?
- We’ll be hoping for fresh winds and a clear sky this year. Sailing at 60N in mid-summer can be beautiful.
- After Shetland, we are planning to head North.
- We are speaking to others in Scotland to see if we can get more interest for a feeder event from Inverness. Will keep you posted.
