Blindforlded Helm

 The Upper Thames Sailing Club Annual Relay Race – With a Twist! 🌬️

One of the most challenging (and hilarious) legs of this year's relay race was the blindfold helm! In this round, the helm was blindfolded and had to sail the course relying entirely on the crew's instructions.

Here, Allie—an experienced jib hand—guides Jacob, one of our top helms, as they set off to collect the baton and navigate the triangular course. Just as they began, the wind suddenly picked up from a gentle breeze to a lively Force 3, giving them an unexpectedly thrilling ride! ⛵️💨
