Don't you 'washer wimmin' sit in the pit during light winds? Sounds like an opportunity to genuinely swing the lead....

Have a good sail Al

glad to hear it went well even if a little more wind would have been welcome.

Great event - best of the Sailjuice Series.  5 champagne races yesterday, 2 toughies today, but all ran smoothly, great welcome, great turn around.  Well done to all at Grafham, especially RO John and his team, and Chris and Rich.

Saturday's racing was very slick. If I'm honest, I think we would have been happy had the Sunday morning race been canned and the pursuit started earlier- not just to get the pain over and done with, but to get packed up a tad earlier.


We managed to avoid running aground, though a couple of the other B14s touched mud, and Andy Rice found one of the shallow areas at some speed in his musto

Duncan, you and Elaine should have come over. It was perfect British Moth weather!

I don't think anyone touched during racing did they? I didnt see anything untoward but mainly had my head down in the committee boat trying to write sail numbers and times for every boat as they were called. From speaking to Andy he was trying to dry his kite between races when he hit the bottom away from the race course.

Point noted about packing up time. I think the pursuit did start a little later than intended. Apologies if you were late back.

Top event, well run. Well done to all concerned with the organisation. Several of us sailed over the shallow area on the way to the start. There was plenty of clearance. No problems despite certain elements suggesting it was virtually unsailable.
