Who IS out THIS weekend

Hoping to have a blast tomorrow, the wind looks pretty handy. Might give the 8.1 a rest though and just sail the standard boat cos I am feeling lazy!

Still hoping for a scram on the F16 tomorrow.  Twas feckin windy today Skiing!!!

Change of plan.  Got up this AM, looked at tthe forecast and the prospect of GW, 400oppies and associated oppie parents made me stay at home....

 

Sailing durning the week instead I think!

Originally posted by turnturtle Originally posted by alstorer club weather station readouts looked "fun". Helm doesn't want us to damage the boat the week before the nationals. Pub lunch and an airshow to replace that then. sounds like a plan... had a similar view to Saturday's racing at the 300 open this weekend- ten minutes out there with 36 knot squals was enough for me think that the 200 quid just spent to get my boat airtight was soon to be a complete waste of money- I think there were 7 or 8 finshers out of 23 in the first race. Sunday was just a horrible day- not quite as gusty, but properly minging rain. I didn't envy the race officers jobs of trying to set courses with all that shifting about going on; either way I got cold enough and bored enough hanging around for an hour before the gun so I went in and took the new bike out for ride instead. On a positive note, I got some good tips from the circuit guys, I got heinously peeved two nights in a row (haven't been able to do that for a while) and met 'Pink Phil'- nice bloke, even if he did call me 'John' all weekend. Shame I didn't get much sailing in as I'm off the water now for four weeks (Laser Eye Surgery this friday ) but hey, there's always next year when it shall be Merlinboy buying the full fat coke and Ginsters Steak slice.

I noticed you bottled it and ran home, without my steak slice and can of full fat coke!!! 

So, the coming weekend then. Off to Plymouth for the B14 nationals. Should be a fantastic weekend, though the favourites are in doubt at the moment- Seavolution has a stand in crew thanks to a severed tendon (ouch!) and Team Gill's helm has two new bundles of joy.

How may other 2009 national champions will have been decided come next week/ I know the N12s are at Thorpe bay, what else? Have there been any nationals proper to this weekend?
