Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkLet1INd_o&sns=em

NALSA's annual America's Cup of landsailing regatta was held
March 19th through 26th. We had high winds for the event and a bit of carnage on the race course at times. Winds ranged from 5 to over 50 mph due to the frontal systems working there way over from the California coast. The racing stops when the gusts exceed 30mph. Most of the racing was in winds around 20mph. The race course is set windward leeward as best as possible with the configuration of Ivanpah dry lake near Primmm Nevada. The marks ranged from about 2 or 3 miles apart. Most of the races are timed for 15 to 25 minutes which translates 20 to 30 miles distance depending on how fast your boat can get around the course. I raced 2 different solid winged boats in 2 separate classes. Nalsa class 5 (49 sq. ft.)yellow winged boat and class 4 Wood boat with green wing(59 sq. ft.). I had a personal best of combination 14 first places and one third place as a throwout between both classes. My max speed was 81.69 mph via gps.
Many thanks to NALSA president Dennis Bassano and the race committee and all involved with putting on an excellent event once again.

Go here for a new yacht:

You will need to do a pilots license and have membership of a BFSLYC club for insurance to sail in the UK.

Good point Sandart434.... Cookie, get that BlowKart down to Brean and show us how its done. On a side point there may be some business for you in composite body construction for the Class 5 yachts etc. As your so close it would be worth poping in one weekend.
