Steve Nicholson Memorial trophey 2009

   I agree with Merlinboy, Nice course, well organised, good food and a great event. Absolutley loved it, a great day! Only serious problem was just how long it took me to sail in for dinner, as the wind completely died for a 20 min period at the start of the end of race 1! I really enjoyed racing against so many boats, and it was great to see such a variety of classes represented.
I was very pleased with my result, I was not last! Think there were 52 singlehanders and I was 44 or 45th, which having only been racing seriously for 2 seasons, and Grafham at xmas being my first big event, I was very happy with!
Anyone seen a full list of results published yet?? cant find on eon here or NSC website.

	For me , rubbish! There was very little wind really, My arse is to fat for a 200 in light airs, also i was unlucky with some of the boats that finished behind me that got average lapped i think!! Nice course, well organised, good food, great event!
