Funny, I get all confused when I sail on anything larger than a small pond - actually having a decision to make about which side of the beat to go up, the 1/2 mile or more sail to the start line, just being able to spot a mark a mile away - it is difficult NOT to spot the marks on a river - just keep going till you get there. Do that on the sea and you can end up in Norway!

I've promised myself I'd learn all about sea sailing, but it has yet to happen!

 

You just need a bigger river!!

Sea sailing isnt to bad whre we are, the tide usaly drives if you go inshore or offshore up the beats. The waves can make life a bit intresting when they start hitting 2m or so and it can get kind of shifty when the wind comes over the land

But its worth it for a 1 1/2 mile reach across the bay with some proper waves to surf

OT puddles and ditches are great for honing your boat on boat skills but I have to admit there is nothing like an FD upwind.

Can I have another go... please.

Ouch! I saw the remains of Alex's at Rutland....how much damage was there to the Jav (I think it was superficial)?

No damage to the Jav at all. The hardest bit of them hit the softest bit of us.

And theres no way we change the boats name, we had enough bad luck last year
