Not a great year for high points, sailing or otherwise.
A lot of lost races, some very dull courses, a lot of opens we did not go to due to strong winds forecast.
A few epic races on the sea, including a very memorable spinnaker leg off of Southsea really not  knowing if we were going to be able to stop before we hit Hayling.
A few really great club races where we've had a good turnout of 400's with close competition.

Then doing the inlands in the musto after only having spent 5hrs in the boat did very badly but great to be on the line with 40 other boats

Cant wait until 2013 !
can't beat a bit of commitment to the cause, good effort!


Thanks
You would giggle if you knew how many cars i brought and sold to get a musto lol

I just had a nice cream tea in Devon whilst down there to collect a RIB.  That has cheered me up.  Can't comment on the pasties: veggie.

I think you would enjoy a Betty's Fat Rascal, giant scone with a few extras.
Or maybe a trip to Bradford City where the only edible pasty is the cheese and onion, this has the added bonus that when spilled down one's cotton replica shirt it doesn't show up on either the claret or amber stripes Wink  Should one find ones self at VP on no account eat the chicken balti pasty, a weapon of self destruction Dead

which is no great shame in the scheme of things.  I could barely sail mine as soon as a 6 week hiatus from the club set in- especially upwind where I was just too damn slow to get in in the lulls.

BUT, to not be able to sail it 'cos you're a complete novice and you go to the class training and tell them they're all wrong (and ladyboys), that trapeze harnesses are gheey and that your DakKine windsurf harness with some crazy attachment to the wire would revolutionise it for them.... well that's just a tad potty.  LOL

A bigger space revolutionised my sailing in it, just more time to think.  I think if i tried a smaller venue i could make a better fist of it now having gotten over that initial hurdle.

I've sailed Datchet about 5 times in total- I've always been impressed by how clean the wind is compared to Draycote.  Grafham's similar- cleaner wind, less shifty and gusty.  Although I'm not complaining too much... Pitsford, now that's a shifty, gustfest for a such a reasonable sized piece of water.
