Birkett 2013

   Nose bleed altitude that far nowth I'm afraid... do people actually sail up there, can they afford it still? I heard on the other threads that dinghy sailing is now only for rich southern softies who work in banks or courts during the week and require their butlers to do the rigging of the 'jib cunningham thingy' for them.
For those brave enough to venture up there, then highly recommended! Have to go and help out at a school fair otherwise I'd go just for the giggles.

	I am there in the D-One. Going up Friday afternoon. Conditions looking OK saturday but a shocker on Sunday! Not going to be a fast boat event this year!
