The other Topsham boat in the race is Kithros II. The crew includes three members of the legendary Rickets family . Skipper Bill Rickets introduced Kate to the pleasures of the Three Peaks yacht race in Kithros last year, All the sailors aboard have done the Three Peaks race many times and are very experienced and skilled. Despite having one of the slower boats they are 22nd and going well. They were right up with Topsham Toe in the Water yesterday afternoon but as the map shows took a daring route up the Coast. This brave gamble did not pay off and it looked as they would be too late to get in the lock but pulled off an amasing feat to get in at the last minute leaving another boat who tried to follow her, Whisky Galore, grounded outside the lock
