Who was out this weekend?.....

As we are due to move soon sailing is a bit on the back burner.  However, there is the question of a partially rubbed down dinghy in the garage which has to move when we do....fortunately I have just acquired (via the Cat's Protection jumble sale) a very useful hot air gun....

i managed to get the 14 out with a kite on it on saturday afternoon. we had 8-10 knots of wind and we're only just twinning, mostly single wire, upwind. Downwind, i wet really high and got both of us on the wire. then i went back to sailing the right direction i would in a race and we were single wiring. It was myself helming, and a mate who was going to go to the qualifier but decided he couldn't be bothered because of the lack of wind crewing (i bet he'll be peeved off to hear they got some nice racing in). I can't wait to get this boat out on a nice F4-5 day with a typical solent chop running to see what it's like.

Sunday i sat around on the balcony watching before i had to go and do some college work  I didn't miss anything though. There was barely any wind and the lasers we're going backwards at some points.

At the OK Inlands at Northampton this weekend.

Despite me not racing much, due to my lack of skill in such high winds, had an awesome weekend.

Nssa Team racing was excellent fun, no wind on saturday morning building up to 18-20 kts and the PRO calling a reef, sunday was fairly breezy but not quite as much as saturday, the wind also did a 180 shift as the pressure moved straight over the club.  It was good, very close racing and good time had by all.  

James, If thats the sort of thing you look for matey then thats a seperate matter! And was quite shifty at club. THere was topper training going on. When we peeved it on to windward a topper sailed into us.
