I didn't sail on Sunday. Too windy at 30kts. As the bard once wrote, "sod that for a game of soldiers, Falstaff"

Yeah sunday was crazy for wind and rain, i was out on a 35 footer racing, and we were suffering lots of mast inversion even with the baby stay on. Also saw some crazy broaches by other boats, definately a day for being in the bar rather than out on the water.

I got to go and play on a Contender this weekend. It was great, though maybe 20kts isnt ideal for a first shot.....

I think Pierre is hinting at a certain FD rear quarter damage done a couple of years ago....he is wondering if the contender is still in 1 piece....does look good though if only Hunts wasn't so shifty I could be tempted.

You are a legend on two continents Lucy.  

 

You know you can sail with any of us any time you like, just don't bloody touch anything.
