Lol. I took my 5 year old Goddaughter out sailing last week and it was really strange to let the sail flap a bit, so the boat did not go fast enough to splash her! I figure the key thing at this stage is that she enjoys being in a boat Smile.

Took my little girl out sailing for the first time at the weekend, she was enjoying herself un til daddy made the boat go too fast  .

She seemed to enjoy herself though and might want another outing, especially if her friend goes with her!

i was at southport for the 24hour race. were coming 19th at one stage but then the wind died to nothing and every drifted past our crew on the water dropping us to about 50th. we pulled a few places back to end up 44th. slightly dissapointing compared to our previous result of 30th but we were missing quite a few of our better sailors. was a good night on the friday though. big thanks to west lancs yacht club for organising the event etc

Great racing in Cork for the Irish Multihull National Champs. Thanks to all involved in the organisation, and also the visiting English sailors in their Spitfires. Weather was universally sh**e throughout (note to self - the camping season ends in August - B&B it next year) but the party was mighty. Many congrats to all the Class Champions.

At Weston the RSs raced four races on the Sunday and the Lasers got three. I was running the Laser training on the Saturday and we probably had better breeze on Saturday afternoon than we did on the Sunday! BTW the Saturday night social (curry, cheap bar and a band) was awesome!

Were you at Weston? A friend of ours got there on Saturday for the RS700 open and went to the boat show when sailing was cancelled for the day.
He took one look at the weather forecast and decided to head back to Lancing. We had a very pleasant force 3 easterly shifting to the south at times.

Did he miss anything in Weston? Were there any RS700 racing in the open meeting?
