Freak wind hits Cherub and Moth Nats

Calum and I were on our way downwind back to the beach at the time having pulled a block from the jib system out and it was a destinct case of 'nose going down.. get back.. nose going down... get back... nose going down... im already on the bloody ruder gantry... theres no boat left... nose still going down!'

Quite a bit of boat damage, but luckily mr gruit avoided going through the jib for the second time that week...

Edit: and you may have had your kite up stu, but it was the little girly spare one...

hell no it was a fare bit smaller and when u say rode it u spent the worst of it on your side, sailed for a few seconds with the kite up in the less mental wind. U sailed away from the shore when the rescue crews were trying to deal with almost every boat on its side.

U peeved off the entire organising comittie add to that the fact u then needed rescuing yourself id say rode it out no. muppet yes!

Calum, you appear as if you don't actually have a clue what you're talking about. The pink kite is '97 rules, that's the same as on Cheese. When we were flying the wind was still blowing its nuts off. We were sailing for ateast 3minutes before pitchpoling. We didn't need rescuing, we sailed back under our own sail. So I suggest you check your facts before flying off on one.

you can tell the cherubs are back 

yeah refreshed after what was a really good week!
