Picked up the new 14 with BBSCFaithful, went out for a quick sail in the evening when the wind was dieing was top stuff though, I am loving the orange coloured t foil, it is very strange to see it following you around in the water.

Here here although i sailed an rs 700 for the second time and it was nice with the kite up even in a force 2-3. Mopps will agree with me as he got a blast in a musto too. |

Well not going to say much apart from I went to the Bury Lake Young Mariners Laser Open.
Was great, wind, sun and a few forum members. But have to say, if Ratface (James) can get out of bed late, come down, rig a pathetic Laser and still come where he came, then WELL DONE! As for me, I beat Villian (James) and DaveL and they had newer boats than me. Lets wait for the excuses to come this way!!  |

hmmmm, excuses....
my excuse is that i had forgotton how horrible it is to hike in a laser compared to trapezing or hiking from the 200 and i haven't raced a laser in aaaaaaaages. Congratulations to ratface though, he and radixon raced a lot better than i did today, it started bad and got gradually worse for me |

I havnt sailed a Laser in over a year, and it was a bit gusty!!
How on earth *ANYONE* can enjoy sailing those things all the time is beyond me ... Inside of the cockpit digging into your calf, Silly sized tillers ( on stock boats anyway ), and an annoying noise from the back of the main while your going upwind! Oh .. and the fact that if you heel even more than ... umm .. 1 degree the boat wants to spin into the wind, so your sailing the whole beat pulling on the tiller! I'm happy to have beaten one person ... DaveL ... Even if it was by 1 point!!! Nice to see you there today Radixon, hope you come back again next year! |

Took the 600 out this weekend with no capsizes untill i looked back and realised that the top pin on the rudder had snapped of and the rudder was sitting on the crossbeam, still attached to the bottom pintle.
 Following that took the 200 out with mopps and did ok in the race considering how little we've sailed the boat in ages (I may have fallen out the back after a gybe  ) but we still came fifth a minute behind the 300 that got away from us after a 2 laps. Then got a quick blast in a b14 at the end of the day which was great  |
