I think I got a bit hypothermic on Saturday, on ( or was it in ) the water for 4 hours trying to learn to foil tack and foil gybe at QMSC moth training.

No you're not, not unless it's humorous and going out in that ain't funny...  Which reminds me I forgot this little rhyming couplet for Medway Maniac, to be sung to the tune of the Adams Family... Your sister is your mother Your father is your brother You all shag one another, the Medway family... |

So are we not allowed to tease the teaser now?
I was out on the Solent on Saturday - not warm but not silly-breezy either

sailing at Stokes Bay on Sunday it was chuffing cold. And it's all very well harping on about his boats about wind range, but it is prudent to work up to "extremes" surely? Doing early testing (which he's still at) in big winds is a recipe for trouble in any design.

Yes it is easy launching and the water is flat, it was just so bloody cold = not fun, I like to avoid hot hurts which I recently became re acquainted with the other tuesday night when the sun went in longboard racing.
I've served my time suffering in cold weather thanks, it's one rule I put in place when I turned not fifty something and I do try not to ignore it. The windchill meant it must have been around 3 degrees on sunday and I don't do gloves either, never have.

I must add a bit.ly to this post, just so there's something to link back to when grumpfs decides to wax lyrical about the boat's massive wind range

There's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes/kit
So offshore breeze = no no Onshore breeze = cannot launch thru breakers! Surely offshore breeze = easy launching |

Brrr too cold, it was bloody arctic and 28-30kts offshore, nobody much felt like it, so they didn't launch the rescue boats.
Then the irresponsible lunaticontender fringe went out anyway.. I didn't fancy it in that, very gusty and I really don't do sub 10 degrees these days, not strong offshore at least, I guess it's a hangover from Windsurfing, offshore winds were grilled into us as a no no.. A shame, had it been warmer I'm sure it would have flown.

So where is the video from this weekend GRF? Sunday could have been interesting if you had the same F4-F6 we did...
