The quality has deteriorated I suspect but the full format version is slightly better. The full version is about an hour long, I've edited it down to about 30 mins to make it half way interesting........It looked like a very windy event.

They seem to know who was sailing what along with their inside leg
measurement.

Wildly excited Nessa has several crew volounteers already.

I have to say I found that wildly exciting because my own 14 looks a lot like these.  It was frustrating not to be able to read the sail numbers - I'm looking for K865.  It makes me dead keen to get it on the water.  Unfortunately her indoors was watching over my shoulder and said it looked terrifying!  She is but a beginner, and there are always other crews....

The "Lute Stern" is specifically for beach launch and recovery, it copes better with the breakers when comming in. Most commonly seen in the Hastings fishing fleet.

Charge at the beach and then use a winch to haul it up.
There are plenty of fishing boats still doing that along
the coast.

Nice bit of video, next time anyone suggests we could save
some money by going back to beach launching our motor boats
I'll show that to them.
