Well maybe the disadvantage of lightweight skiffs is that they get blown around the dinghy park a a bit???
Needs to sail more...

Any skiffs in the flood areas? Did any go for solo sails?

We went out for the start on the Wednesday (canned as soon as we got there), got a bit silly in 38 knot gusts with my barn door 2005 main, still the old girl self-depowered by shedding a batten and got us back home again with no major dramas!

No we got it back, in fact all of the dinghys seem to be ok, althought there are some very sunk cruisers and river boats

Poor "Lucidity" with that sinking feeling!

Weymouth didnt get hit by the flooding but I did miss most of the first day due to not being able to tow through the floods to get there...

The irony of having a boat trapped by the flooding was definantly lost on me.

That said when I did finaly get down there (and had finished fitting out the boat in the dinghy park) I had some epic sailing and nothing major broke which I was quite chuffed with being the first time on the water for my boat after a pretty serious facelift.
Next year Im gonna try and do some of the races too.
