i should be down both days i think but only buzzing on the sunday as i need to practise some pre-enty manoverues in a GP14 so if u see a GP throwing a buoy overboard and getting in your way then thats probabley me.

Yeah JP that would be good but believe me whaam wont really compare with the speed machines with racks,double trap, massive asymmetric etc.......although for 150 quid i think its a pretty good deal! Shame we have had to make the repair visible though becuasse the original 'invisable one' broke so the deck is now not very nice but im sure itll do its job. And the repair wont affect the sailing as the below waterline reapir is great! ------------- -[Franko]- Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club RS600 933 |

crewless or clewless? anyway, pitchpoling is fun!  what kinda time was it you capsized jp? there were a couple of times when about 3 people decided to capsize at once, all in different places and we were only using one boat! just need people to co operate and capsize in the same place |

| I'm not sure what was going on then. It's suprisingly hard to spot boats sometimes, it's a big lake to cover! Sorry bout that. I know it's annoying, I capsized and lost the rudder on my laser a while back and couldn't do anything and it took aaages before the safety boat got to me! |

Ah, but the turbo is never permanently on: big waves, hoists, mark roundings, tacks, gybes, gusts and lulls, shifts, all the rest of it. Getting the afterburner lit as soon as possible and keeping it there are among the key skills of the class. The two recent multiple champions have been subtly different in that respect. Andy Paterson is the master of keeping the boat going - when the lulls come or whatever Andy seems to keep going lower/higher (according to up or downhill) and faster than those around him. On the other hand Dave Roe, the king of the 90s, every now and then would find another level of reheat. You'd be working your ass off, getting all the shifts, catch right up to his tail, and then, suddenly there would be what one of the guys called a "Dave-Roe-Get-Out-of-Jail-free-gust" and he'd be gone again. |

Yeah the turbo was great fun, although it was pretty wet upwind, just add's to the atmosphere!

did you ever expect to stay dry sailing a skiff france? we did come pretty close
to capsizing a couple of times, some good teabagging! that and nice
slippy decks and even slippier boots and nearly sank doesn't count until the boat's less than 3 inches above water and you're swiming around it that wasn't me, that was a friend.. honest..

yeah, if you don't fall in occasionally you're not trying hard enough my problem is falling out
i managed to swallow lots of loch water last month, sailing upwind, 4up
in a dart 16, force 5 or 6, hiking off the back and your whole body
slamming into the waves and you can't see anything.. it's a great
feeling! even better when you realise you're getting paid to do it
think i scared the other guys.. i know i did when we got in and told
them i'd never sailed a cat before, one of them went completely white |

There's quite a queue for Halo: I should have set the price higher. But don't get too excited about boat speed: it takes a while to get to the stage where boatspeed makes much difference. Keeping the boat upright, keeping it flat, quick hoists and drops, finishing every race, not to mention the standard stuff like going the right way up the beat, all that stuff makes a lot more difference in your first season than boatspeed. |

Will take some pics soon, little bit of tidying needed but generally ready to go, looks good. Old rig but just what I need to break me in. Boat speed wont my first concern, keeping the mast above the hull will probably me the first major concern. jools ------------- cherub 2603 'aggro' |

Cool, im hopefully comeing down but i mioght not be able to becuase my parents might not be ale to take me ! Yeah i was thinking as soon as saltford stops sailing for the winter or anytime soon, we really have to get racing whaam, its the only way to get really good at sailing a boat! It really doesnt matter if we loose! ------------- -[Franko]- Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club RS600 933 |

it's better to helm at turbo speeds, you get to find out what not to do quicker
