I'm sure it was an accident......... Usually after my comments along the lines of: "No, not that way, head up...now bear away". See, surely an accident????

The 420 as a "bigger boat" is an interesting concept!
Great you have got the boat afloat. Were you hit on purpose or by mistake? |

FINALLY got our recently purchased (and pink-decked) 420 out on the water.
We've actually had the boat for close to 2 months bur what with the storms/wind/rain general messiness we've not had that 'nice, calm first-sail' weather for a while.....until yesterday. It was lovely. Our attempt at learning this double-handed malarkey that's always scared us, it's why we have a series of single handers between us. Anyway, went well and, hopefully, will get us over our general fear of the bigger boats. All smiles back on the beach so that's a good sign? .... Lady Fleaberto only hit me twice with the wiggle-stick - I'll take that as a positive :-) |

We had a great day yesterday, the second Back On the Water session, and 14 boats turned out, a slightly different 14 from the first Saturday so it bodes well for the season ahead.
Today was crappy, no wind at all so I just did maintenance chores. Useful, but dull.

After last week's horribleness, I'm glad to say today was just lovely. Had friends over, and their 2 small children got their first taste of sailing, in a 2000, with my wife helming, their dad childminding and my daughter entertaining. Meanwhile, rupertson and I had given the Lightnings a good going over in the morning, ready for the Open next weekend, and then had a great sail in the afternoon, playing around and dropping in on the others in the 2000.
What a sunny day was designed for. |

We just had squalls with dead bits inbetween. Not such a cracking day!
