Sat:Laser 4000 at grafham, blowing around 15-20 knts gusting more, so it was full on sailing, had some monster kite runs, i felt like god going downwind at one point as we were going so fast... until a windsurfer just 'drifted' past
 then almost ran said windsurfer over with the centreboard possibly inches from the top of his mast. all in all a fantastic sailSun: rs200 at BLYM 5knts, raced, won got such a lead on the fleet that the 2nd place(rs200) was 5 mins behind and 3rd place(topper) was 15mins behind on the water, and now the boat is all packed up ready for next week. today(mon): took out a friends vortex and had a ball close to flat wiring at times. learn't that 3 foils pick up more weed than 2 foils...

I was spectating at the athletics trials on Saturday and then doing safety cover at OSC for the Topper Nationwide on Sunday. 200 Toppers......Farmoor looked quite full for once.

I was also at weymouth- crewing a B.
Had it going quite nicely, just got gybing sorted.... And then the rudder ripped off  Throws up an interesting dilema though- i really enjoyed crewing, and im wondering if i wouldnt be better doing that rather than helming....  I'll probably decide after the Starcross TT... |

Great sailing on Saturday, had a brilliant run twin-hiking with the kite, the bow rose about a foot and we took off... was nice and windy, the rudder kept coming up too which made the gusts a little interesting... was in pain on Sunday!

I got back from Weymouth on Friday night, very late. In fact I was so tired I was in bed within 5 minutes of arriving home, came down the next morning to find I'd left the kitchen light on, front door open and the car unlocked! good job I've got honest neighbours. Not a very good experience in Weymouth, a high speed nosedive left me with a broken control rod and forestay and when the mast came down it damaged the wingframe. And I lost my Hawk... So no Mothing for at least 6 weeks if not more, bye-bye summer! |

I was at Weymouth too, and 4 races was a loooong time out there! It got a bit chillier than I expected too!
Sunday was a bit boring though, much more fun on saturday

Weymouth: Saturday started out with a reasonable wind, around what was forecast. That soon built, and there were quite a lot of us couldn't quite stomach the thought of the fourth race- our inexperience especially was showing, with multiple swims. though the forecast was for rubbish wind, Sunday turned out rather nice, and it would have been much more pleasent to have had race four on Sunday rather than Sturday. Ah well. |
