So, how many of the '8.4' sailors would normally sail a 10.2, but decided their best chance in the big breeze was to go small?

Also, does anyone wear hikers - and how good are they in a 100 (I ask cos they're a must have in a Laser, but awful in say an RS200).

Anyone got any idea what the N10 refers to on the nationals t-shirts, a rather large typo perhaps!

Talk about passing the buck James!!  Far be it for me to bore you all with techy talk, but the fastest sailboards are not the ones with the biggest sails...

Some great photo's, btw.  Looking forward to the report!  Was there really four races b2b?  That's rough, especially in those winds!

So what was the thinking behind the double points for the short races?

what do you think would happen if after all the returns
are in the 8.4 is given a faster handicap than 10.2
(unlikely i know) but if more are raced and continually
get better results......
Rs600 + many others

Yep, no probs with that James. Although I wasnt there, it looks like a fairly even spread between the small and big rigs down the leaderboad if there were no adjustments made....
