These guys have had a gruelling week in west Cornwall. The photos on the Y & Y web site set the scene. These are definately not under powered ships and it is a pretty exposed piece of water. Well done to all those racing, those running the racing and the resilience of the boats. Check out the reports. I think the Cool Wall may need a re-shuffle. ------------- Steve |

I can only dream of accomplishing any more than just swimming round my 14 in that kind of wind "As far as I can tell, the usual path is to enter the 14 class with a second-hand boat, capsize a few hundred times, and eventually get good enough at keeping it upright so the differences between boats become a noticeable factor." 14's for ever |
I guess it's all part of the 14 learning experiance. A good quote from the 14 list:
