Who was out this weekend?.....

   Fairly enjoyable weekend at Rutland, though it turns out our sailing ability goes from "mediocre" to "utter rubbish" when my helm is suffering overly (being a big girl) from the antics of the previous evening...

	I got annihilated in the Cheurb today. First time sailing in a while. Not since the nationals in August really. Turned up at Grafham expecting 10-13 knots forecast at the whole things was covered with white caps most of the time. We finished off a few jobs rigged up and hit the water. Instant twinability and upwind with '97 rules sails which was a lot of fun! Pitch poled upwind mad style several times. The rescue boat said it looked pretty impressive! Tipped it in on almost every turn and the tiller extension fell off. It's now floating around Grafham somewhere. We tried to pop the kite but it jammed up just flopped completely. A little refinement and we'll be good to go! Dead chuffed with the new boat. When I finished with it it'll be less shed, more ballistic missile.

	First enterprise open of the year at Rugby and Daventry. small lake, decent amount of wind coming over blocks of flats (think foce 2 to force 4 in the blink of an eye at a 45 degree shift) and sailing with a crew that I had not sailed the ent with in 9 months. ended up with a respectable mid fleet finish 5 out of 10, and sunburn! Beat a few people that we had a lot of trouble beating this time last year, so we have made a decent leap up the fleet during the winter sailing period. well happy.

	was out today on the new 300 which i got 2weeks back. still quite dirty and needing loads of bimbling. shame i couldnt get enough kicker or downhaul due to it being poorly set up. after this week it should be nicely sorted though. are there ANY online chandleries which have everything its really irritating looking in the catalogue and finding the perfect thing for the job only to go online and for it not to be on the shore
