Watching the second race from the safety of the cafe. Wind is ok, racing looks good. Had a good look at the icon, was very impressed and it looked fast in the lightish winds.
Haven't found the alto yet and no sign of a pink solo either.
Looks like the event is going well. Hope they have another good day tomorrow.

Well it took the boy an I a whe to get back in to the swing of thing, and finally sailed the boat properly in Race 4. Slightly dissapointed that we've been given a PY of 910, but that's just the way it goes I guess. Also a bit dissapointed that in race 1, a) I stuck the nose of the boat where it shouldn't have been (right in a not-big-enough gap at the Committee Boat and b) the bloke in the RS400 to leeward saw fit to ensure that he shoved me in the said committee boat, causing some significant damage to my boat. As I said at the time I knew I was in the wrong and would have done a penalty (and did), but I didn't need that damage.

Any know where results are posted?
