Wrong type of tide, or is it current or maybe even thermohaline circulation ... |

Seriously, two or three weeks into single handed hiker sailing, in that busted ass piece of junk?
It would be a different story now. |

What position do you think you'd achieve in the 2018 Nationals?

Now there's a great idea. Find GRF a boat - RS 100 Nats at the RS Games....we can all watch!

No wonder the earlier Blaze you ran was a 'mystery' to you ... All that wing stuff stuck on the sides was not there for decoration .. it was a HIKING feature !! (.... Guess we should have pointed that out at the time .... )

Tell me what the weather is going to be like and is there tide running, but here's something to consider, one of our top club guys won the RS Games or whatever they're called a year back in an RS100, he also is very capable of doing well in Laser Masters and back then I'd never have gotten even close to him, still can't if it's windy. However the last race of this season, in tide, with shifts, coming back from a crap start, took not only him but the two other best guys in our club, over the water in my busted up EPS with half it's centreboard missing. So, not saying I'd win or anything, but I'd do a lot better these days since I've learned loads more about single handed boat handling that I had no idea about back then, not that I'd bother to travel to such an event, but if the weather and conditions played ball, think I might surprise even you, how much have you learned these past 7 years? |

Well who would this be and which event? I've never missed a 100 Nationals (or much else), know pretty much everyone near the front of the fleet and cannot think who you mean or anyone who admits to coming from your neck of the woods. Where would you finish in 2018 Nats? About the same as at Parkstone. You'd need to be taller, heavier and willing to hike for a start. |
