I went for a jolly troll... Did the first race but not the second... Big clumps of weed all over the place, decent wind, at least some decent gusts, fairly useful wind direction too. Would have been better if I hadn't had to do a 720...
Avoided the collision though. |

yh was an awesome day Villan
IF we did go over it was to be you who got wet  todays speeds certainly change my opinion of wooden boats rather a lot. oh and sorry for the rudder retaining clip... i needed revenge on dave for breaking bits on my boat... HONEST  |

Datchet.
Tide has gone out ... A little annoying .. we had to walk the full length of the normal beach, back up, through the carpark, and down a different slipway to get a decent angle on the wind, and make it possible for us to launch. Only broke the rudder retaining clip .. But it could have been worse! Had a few close calls with the boat trying to ride up onto the concrete ( yes, and trying to break the rudder at the same time by the sound of it ) Only the 1 close call on a capsise .. saved it .. only just. The tip of the mast must have been about 2 ft above the water! All in all - well worth it! |

i had a very expensive day on the water on saturday. firstly in the dinghy park i worked out that the only way i am going to be able to get my diamond wires the same tension is going to be to get a new set or a second bottlescrew (how have other 600 sailors got round the diamond tension problem????). then on the water i snaped a batten about 3 inhes from the mast which subsequently tore the batten pocket. later on i flew off the rack and smacked into the foredeck with my knee. the foredeck came off a lot worse than my knee, there is now a 4-5inch crack along the top of the deck and also under the gunnel about 4 inces infront of the rack. all very messy. and to cap it all off, coming into the slipway i'd untied my rudder and the helm had gone heavy so i assumed it was up slightly so i dropped the sail and went up the slipway and once someone had caught me i walked to the back of the boat to lift the rest of the rudder up only to har a horrible crunching noise. when i got off and had a look the rudder was all mushed up in the stock and when i lifted it out it came off in my hand leaving 2 inches of blade in the stock. and so i spent today packing up the boat to take it to the menders. ill have to get a claim form tommorow. |
