Buying a solo...
Oh sorry, we're talking about high points; well then, probably seeing some old git drinking Bacardi in a changing room at half one in the morning with a smile on his face; knowing that at that moment, he'd finally 'got it' about this dinghy sailing lark. |

Winning a prize at Gurnard sailing club, even though I don't think I actually finished any races! I started quite a few, but chickened out if the courses were out into the waves, or too far downtide, or was too windy, or was not windy enough - whch means nearly of them
 . A foiling moth + big Solent chop / 3kt tide / no wind is tricky. Doing my first foiling gybe was a high point though  |

I've had a great club season. Trophies in both Graduate and Albacore, four excellent dedicated crews (including the wife). Beaten the back injury. Advice to everyone-take care pulling your (heavy-Albacore) boat out the water-life changing consequences.

As with Richard, 2012 has been a year of reduced sailing thanks to tides and weather. Biggest highlight was coming second on day 1 of the TSC club week in the Graduate with my 4yr old daughter sailing her first ever race, then hearing her say she wanted to win the next day, which we duly did! Fantastic looking at the shocked faces on the water on the second day when they realised she was actually trimming the jib and had cracked roll tacking! and it wasn't all down to me sailing the boat.

I have a B14 on film somewhere, I was in the rib chasing a few boats, looked epic. For me 2012 was a year of little sailing. 2013 will start with a sail on 5th jan followed by the BM on 12th...looking forward to getting out more

Watching my 7 year old pracitising in his Oppie - he was standing up in the back of the boat and pumping it downwind copying the footage of the 470's in the Olympics. He then went back up wind and did it all again and again and again. Fantastic to watch, but it took me an hour to get the little b*gger to stop and come in!
