Just a quick message to any Blaze sailors that this Friday > Sunday is the National Championships at Hayling Island Sailing Club.
* Entries still open * 7 races over 3 days - afternoon start on the Friday * Meal and Party Saturday Night * Awesome venue - Perfect for sailors and their families * Plenty of local accommodation available * Friendly class - barely a protest to be seen! There are a few boats on Apollo Duck if anyone is tempted :) Check out the Blaze Class Association website for full details Edited by pompeysailor - 07 Jul 15 at 6:43pm |

Word has it the Blazes were kept ashore today and sent home but the Finns were sent out! What's that all about?

At a guess, the Blazes didn't fancy the bar in breeze on ebb tide & not enough water in the harbour to run racing inside. Not sure that midday low tide is the best choice of weekend for an event at HISC.

Musto's were out giving it large in Torbay too :) I admit its slightly twitchy when you round the top mark and go to hoist and the boat is going so fast you're scared to come in off the wire to hoist

2 great days racing in 12-20knots and a wise decision in cancelling Sunday for the Blaze looking at the ambulances arriving at HISC for some of the Finn fleet who went out.
* Awesome work by the race committee and HISC as a whole * Weather was perfect for 2 out of 3 days and got in 5 quality races. Next year its Paignton!! |

Allowing the Finns out on Sunday was a bit daft - it wrecked the overall results of anyone who was concerned about their boats, masts, bodies etc and stayed ashore.
Masts were broken on Saturday in less severe conditions. In retrospect (always easy) we should have got in two early races in the harbour Sunday am. Great event though |

it was indeed - I was out at Shoreham on a 100L board with a 5.3 sail and it went from full power  to completely stacked  Great fun though, but I won't be travelling without my smallest kit in the future.
