Great feature on the Lightning368 in DSM this month! ... good work Wayne!

Now, Rupert.... "Strong winds at the Nationals"??? - i'm so light i make a stringbean look obese! I hope your prediction falters a tad!

Who's doing Oxford?

Cheers - I was quite pleased, really, given that rather a lot of the time I was waaaaay out of my comfort zone. Need to get fitter and get more strong wind practice if I'm going to survive the Nationals in August!

That will depend on how the kids' training at our club goes with me at Cotswold this weekend - the next session is on the 22nd, and if they were very short on staff, I may have to go along to that instead.

have a good open.

am hoping to have a better sail this weekend than last!
( got a mardy on and came off the water before the race started!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
