New boat went like a dream disregard the Phantom as a choice of singlehander at your peril a joy to sail up and down wind.

Clap Big smile nice cracking day post!

Lovely sail on Saturday at Haversham - see the D-Zero thread - I'd join that club if I were local, and have to say, just one lap racing against Lasers, Supernovas and an EPS in a 'generic sporty singlehander' was enough to remind me not all's bad with handicap racing (when it's done right anyway and there's more than 2 boats on the start line).  Went home, cooked steak for my wife and an old uni mate, washed it down with some plonk.

As for Sunday - spent it in the garden with my family and my wife and I shared a bottle of bubbly plonk, before then heading out for a Thai meal including another bottle of pink plonk.  Can't complain.  Plonk and dinghies... there are worse ways to live.

Our weekend was lovely. On Saturday we had the "middle class fest" which is our open day. Nice wind and our fabulous scenery. Home made cake, mown grass and clean lavatories. After the visitors had loaded their Range Rovers and left some of us went out for a quick thrash...then pub, so nice.

Sunday similar weather but windy and I was officer. 17 boats out all wanting a personal course....I have none of that! Good racing, everyone fell in. Pub. Great weekend, and I don't have to go to work on Monday morning!
