the reason i dont want it too windy is that ive just finnished glueing various pieces of the 600 back together and i dont want them all torn appart straight away. ------------- 600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it. Also International 14, 1318 |

Well if you've done a good job it won’t matter! Would you
rather have a sail or biblical proportions just another drifter, that’s going
to cost you £15? ------------- Ross If you can't carry it, don't sail it! |

With the current forcast, I think the club work day is an option.

I may struggle a touch if the winds light, well upwind anyway. Can always hope for 15knts i guess. ------------- |

The weather forecast was reliably wrong, that was a little more than 8mph... Good event and a nice sail, well done everyone

I though the forcast was for 9 knots, not 8 mph?

Was 9/8mph the forecast i saw, though 9 knots would make more sense.
