Sounds like us guys at Largs missed a good nationals and I can't make France either.

Some of your advice gained over the weekend please .... as one of the RS100 syncronised swimmers and as there are now so many expert non-swimmers what are the main tips for staying upright in 18/20kts plus. Got the righting and upwind sailing sussed (well when the foam arrives), but downwind hoisting and Gybing ..... oh dear!

Will do some events in 2011 and may go to the open event at Dalgetty Bay if others are.

Look forward to event detailled reports and experiences.

it's a bit of moot point, Neal Freeman summed it up in his prizegiving
speech, 'it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it!"





Appreciate the longer races and that they are the overall points. But were they calculated on corrected time, i.e was a position recorded for everyone finishing, then amended using the PY's? Or were people just recorded as they came over the line and given that as their finishing position?

Deliberately.. Only way I could get the kite down.

Interesting that TT had a photograph of exactly the mess my kite block was
in, taken before the regatta commenced I might add..

Interesting I've never had a kite problem before, ever.

Yep, no probs with that James. Although I wasnt there, it looks like a fairly even spread between the small and big rigs down the leaderboad if there were no adjustments made....

what do you think would happen if after all the returns
are in the 8.4 is given a faster handicap than 10.2
(unlikely i know) but if more are raced and continually
get better results......
Rs600 + many others
