Lord Birkett at Ullwater SC. Day 1 was quite strong wind but a "learning opportunity" which really means I spent a lot of time getting wet and trying not to sail behind something a lot larger and faster than me. This is quite difficult when it feels like 50% of the fleet is saiing 49ers and RS400's.
Day 2 was lighter with sunshine - loved it.

Got the first coat on the Fireball .... Looking Superb already!
International Toplac ( Yellow ) and its come up all glossy ... Looks great - But we have to put a 2nd coat on in a few days .... Still a week or two before we can sail again! Doesn't even need polishing .... ( But we're gonna anyway! ) |

3000's at the Medway Dinghy Regatta. Saturday had us on a 12 mile course in a F.4-5 in the morning followed by an 8.7 miler in a F3-4 in the afternoon - very good value for money! Sunday's final race had all fleets on the same course with lots of three-sail reaching in a F3-4 in brilliant sunshine. Brilliant sailing and a real 'regatta' feel. Why can't every weekend be like that? |

Isis - Rolled on, and brushed flat ... 2nd coat going on tomorow with a LOT more care, so we dont end up with a few of the blotches and small raised bits we have currently.

We have a new mast thanks to excellent service from Noble (why is the Laser center in Northamptonshire? I recommend they relocate to Hastings). So we're of to Lancing for their Summer Regatta, our first L2 open....Found a B&B where the Landlady likes Sailors (thats me out then).

Say hi to all my friends there. I bet they're finding the place so quiet since I've left... Might meet you on Sunday afternoon when we come back to drop the Contender back in the compound and finally get to go sailing for me |
