I am afraid that 541 went a little over a year ago - to Finland IIRC
Ben's training is always worth the effort - light or heavy weather. Drop the mast, strap her down and hitch it up |

hot skin burning sunshine, wind 14-16 mph, twin racking upwind (8-9 knts) in the B14 outside the breakwater in Plymouth. 20mins full on downwind back of the rack kiting thro 1metre swells downwind hitting 20+knts. Repeat for 3hours = arms and shoulders knackered. Sat. No wind, burning sunshine, 5 hours offroad mountain biking on dartmoor = legs knackered Sun at work to pay for the toys! Mon cloudy, wind 16-18mph, overpowered/ on the edge W/L windsurfing on Starboard Isonic 155 + 9m for 2+ hours = totally destroyed body. Classic weekend, went back to work Tues and colleagues ask 'did you get up to much?' where do you start? RodB |

First race of the season, for me, on Wednesday at farmoor. Thanks to the Chap who told be course and start sequence. That gave me to oppotunity to start well and slowly move backwards Remembered why I don't sail Lasers, paticularly full rig and more paticularly ones that I haven't had chance to set up. Ouch, ouch, bloody outhaul in that order |

I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

Just got back from Llangorse, Wales where I took the 200 for the week.
Joined 18 other boats for a race series but lack of wind or too much wind made it interesting. Mind you we had sunshine so i can't moan too much. Got a submarine shaped trophy (let you lot work that one out) |

Just spent my lunch break in a field over the road from work flying my new power kite! That thing makes a hefty pull, won't take a lot more breeze before I'm flying with it! It nearly pulled me off my feet a few times .. Same for a colleague who came over with me ... Definitely a good buy! (A lot cheaper than a new kite for the Vareo as well .. I wonder how well it'll work downwind! |

Um, so who's fault is it the b14 capsized,
The Jib is knackered? and the rig fell down? Can't always be the crew's! (oh and for those that don't know Dave, he isn't fat) |

oi! we gybed perfectly fine... started a drop and the rudder wouldn't let me bear away as a wave made us go sideways!!
jib has a hole in it, and the rig didnt fall down but the bow ring came off as the rib tried to right us |
