Had a belting week sailing wise.

Got lent a Javelin for the nationals at the weekend. Great bunch of people. I got paired up with one of the juniors from my home club. She did a great job in difficult circumstances. We'd probably have skinned a few people on the first day had I not managed to rip the kite clean in half, dropping it in the first race.

Day 2 and a bit more wind. Everyone else trucking on upwind. We're totally overpowered, stacks of rig tension, mast rake etc and still way overpowered.

Day 3 and the wind hit 42knots onshore. We kept upright for way longer than we had any right to before the jib cleat jammed and we got blown in.

Found out later in the week that the boat had a Superspar M2 mast and was usually sailed with 33 stone in it.We just cleared 20 stone! 8 stone on the wire is not effective in a Jav!

Got in the 300 on Thursday, launched in about 25 knots and nearly sh!t myself at how unstable it was! Had a right laugh though. Sailing rocks.

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer.
