well i got back from a week in minorca, great week, mustos are much better than 700s and 800s go like a scalded cat upwind in +25 knots with an instructor at the back, never got to go downwind properly cos the kiker snapped. the only problem with going on holiday and sailing expensive boats that you cant afford and didnt think you would be able to sail anyway is that you may just find you can sail them (refering to the musto) and this weekend i went out in the 600 for about 5 minutes before the diamond wires fell apart, thought that it wasnt safe having them so slack they werestreaming off the back of the boat, dropped the main and drifted in. unfortunately i couldnt get to the club on sunday because of the massive amount of work for college PS: my diamond wires were attached by a bit of string running through the bottle screw but it wore out, the idea was to get the same tension on both wires because when i put them in a shackle one got pinned underneath the other, making it impossible to tack from port onto starboard in a bit of breeze. now i have squashed said shackle in the vice and all should be well for next weekend. |

Regular crew is in New Zealand and there was too much wind for a scratch crew. It was whistling through the rigging, so I went home and watched the match. Disappointed.

Just got back from the final round ot the TNT Flying Fifteen Travellers Series at Carsington. Yesterday was good sailing - Around 15kts in the afternoon. This morning we arrived to about 20 and rain and cold. Once we got going, so did the wind which built a bit more. Finally a squal came through and we had mid to late 20's for about half an hour some serious downwind fun! Once the squal had passed through, it left us with a 90 degree windshift which ment the beat became a reach and so did the run |

HA! It was good force 4 at King George today and I didnt break anyhting in the Cherub. Pacing Furballs is fun! Today was the first time we popped the kite, but I dont have rachets on the kite so it was a little difficult for the crew |
