Who was out this weekend?.....

   The 9er kites sort of fitted but you have to rake the rig back i feel to gain the curve in the sail. The black on was holed quite severly shame as could of been repaired easily.

Alex

	Was out today for the Easter Egg Series in the Laser. After the snow cancelled sailing yesterday, meant all was to play for. I won it as no one could be bothered to freeze for the second race!!

	I hope somebody's got photos because it was bizar at Bough Beech today. Firstly it was cold and windy and as we rigged the 4000 it snowed so that when we launched we could scrape it away from the tramps. It was supposed to be a pursuit race and I was expecting a big turnout - but I think there was less than 12. Most of the snow melted as we got onto the boat and so too did the wind. We could just about keep the boat going to windward but on the next leg the only way to keep the kite filled was to sail at 90 degrees to the layline, gybe and sail back agiin at 90 degrees. We eventually pointed the boat at the mark and let the kite collapse. At the finish we had caught a Mirror and a Topper, then just as everybody else was landing the breeze came up a bit and we were trapezing and the sun came out. Later in the afternoon there was a nice breeze and a bit of sun whilst we comiserated over a beer.

	Well I was out at this RYA "Conferance" (sp) which wasn't one of them at all. I ended up in the Advanced Dinghy group, and boy was it good fun. RS and Laser bought a few boats down, and we had the Topper fleet from the Datchet Dinghy Store/Topper. Have to say though, sailing a Topaz range compared to the RS range, I am glad I made my leap over to RS. Was out in a 500 in a F2 pushing up to a 3 at times, and had a great time in it. Even had a bit of one to one coaching too. Have to say thanks to RS (Dan) and RYA (Guy) for a great day. But I am jelous, and I think everyone was yesterday as Dan from RS blagged a ride on the 18Ft Skiff at Datchet,

	That sounds impressive, i have always wanted to try and blag my way onto an 18. My friend was sailing his 4K down there and said it was a good day. I managed to sail my contender at Aldenham SC, came really far down the fleet but had a good blast esp when a few interesting gusts came through
