around with a broken plate.


Whilst I'm on, well done Nick on that Fed result, did you and the others
actually finish ahead of the D1's on the water? I find that difficult to
believe,
they must have sailed like turkeys, gone the wrong way if 8.4's beat them.

And Nick knows his way around the Harbour - that's probably worth 30 pts (under two minutes in an hour long race).

Not sure I would describe FED Week as a W/L Open sea event! Depending on the course and wind direction you may well get some nice long legs, but when I have done it previously you have done your fair share of white sail reaches as well. I'd agree with Hector, getting the tides right and knowing where the marks are will gain you much more!

No, 'fraid not, it's harbour tours all round.

Look in the medium assy to see results are not a whitewash by either Rs100 or D-1, harbour knowledge, wind appreciation/prediction and luck can be fairly significant in this event, but quality tends to do well by the end of the week!

Both boats look pretty good on the water, it's a good effort in terms of showcasing hiking assy single handers.

Quite right too.

Nick certainly knows his way around this stretch of water and today he and I had the best race.

We were so far ahead of everyone D-Ones and 100's,it was mental.

For the whole of the race we we crossing each others transoms and downwind was really close.

I think its fair to say that in the lighter stuff and with Nick at the helm there isn't much difference, although the other 100's got a spank as well, however as soon as a gust hits or the wind gets up stronger then I feel that I have the legs...the wings make a big difference.

Nick loose covered up the last leg to the finish I put a short tack in to clear his sh1t and that was enough for him to get 21 secs accross the line.

He was first and I was second, overall.

We could have had a proper battle, e.g. covering hard but we both seemed to enjoy seeing what these boats can get up to.

This is not a windward leeward thing, its all over the harbour where get the tide wrong and you lose big time, its always been this way at Fed Week.

Nick and I nearly caught up the tail ender Fast Asys at the first mark who started 5 mins ahead of us.

We spanked the 29ers which we were really please about.

All to play for...

Jimbo doesn't need a larger sail to make up for something he is lacking grumpf!!

No amount of extra canvass is going to help that grow big boy!!

There's an old adage you should be aware of MB, as true today as the day I
first heard it.

If all the men in all the world were lined up and somehow they're penis held
on top of their heads..

They'd all be the same height..
