	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!

	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. Edited by Adam MR 1137

	Tell you whats pising me off! All of the photos from the event tend to be either from the foiling fleet (of which ther were 5 -7 boats) and the symetric fleet!!

	After just looking at the photo galley I think that the main fleets all got a fair show of photos. Phantoms,Merlins,RS fleets all seem to have a fair share. Foiling moths/600`s,eye catching and people like to see foilers! - fair Assy boats didn`t seem to have more then their fair share of photos for my point of view. Feel free to disargee.

	No we weren`t,I was looking in the Y&Y photo Galley ( via the front page link ) & because you didn`t mention the Fotoboat selection,No one was to know otherwise. However the Y&Y should give a more varied selection due to the fact that they have already sold the pictures to the mag,Where fotoboat needs to sell to the owners,spectors & people who want an "all action " shot. Foilers,Assy`s,Trap`s all give the impression of speed & splendor where as hikeing boats rarely give this impression even though they are the more popular style of dinghy sold & sailed in the uk. This may explain the differant styles of photo`s found between Y&Y & Fotoboat. Edited by bert
