	We did it in a 29er and it was auwsum, suprisingly it didn't look like too many boats broke! I think that every boat capsized at least 2 including the fireball that won, some guy said that his windometer was gusting over 36 knots ! annoyingly we rigged our kite wrong so had to come in to fix and missed the race but still went for a blast any included a couple of pitchpoles!

	It wasnt that windy last year!! You might be thinking of the junior bloody mary... however that event did not reach a force 7. Saturday's event was seriously windy- 140 boats entered and lots turned up but didnt enter because of the condtions

	Chips Howarth and V. Townsend won in a Fireball- that's what it said on the front page. I didn't go but when i went last yearfor a topper event it was a 6, 7 in the gusts and most of the topper fleet finished, it was amazing sailing. I wouldn't like to see the launch/recovery anarchy again! and this was in boats that can be wheeled up the banks with the need for the lift thingy- i bet it was crazy!
