You see, that's the beauty of these boats Paul. A bit of meat to get your teeth into. They punch through waves, and pretty much everything else with the oodles of power available. Masochistically, I now have a 6mm mainsheet on the Osprey just to show how hard I am.

That clock of yours wasn't ticking loud enough! It was this weekend (Saturday and yesterday). Results and reports are available on the http://www.fastsail.org/news.php - FastSail newly revamped website. Well done to all competitors and good luck to you, Tim...  ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

there's always next year, gives me more days to fit out the boat so I don't mind! I've been away at the boat show for 11 days so have lost all track of time! Lucky for the competitors this year anyway that we didn't show u |

It was a really brilliant event!
It was the first year we were free to come down from Scotland (we even changed my parents's 50th wedding aniversary so we could come) and I can assure you we will be back! I loved the fact that all the different classes sailed directly against each other, even if it was a bit scary having an FD roll over us on the line! In the light weather we learnt it was easy to lee bow a 505 and that was fun too. It just gave a unique feel to the event - it wasn't just another Open Meeting. What about that Jolly Boat at your club coming next year? They would be welcomed with open arms. ------------- Mk IV Osprey 1314 Think Again
