Pink Pinot Grigio ahem I think you may have me confused, I was one of the ones that wasn't dressed up as a bottle...

Have there been any mods identified from test sailing, e.g. Control arrangements?

Dragging this thread back on topic, that will never work!

A cork screw on the end of a control line perhaps Smile
It really did look well sorted at the Show, I really am trying to roll back the years and the waist line for this one!

I know, I'm sorry. Still, I've got below 90kg for the first time in a long time in anticipation of this thing, aiming for 81kg!

honestly- the boat with the grey sail was properly, properly sorted, to the point where I think Russ and I would have happily stolen it off site and flipped a coin as to who got to keep it.

the other one needed a riser on a cleat and could have done with the thinner mainsheet on it too... all work in progress, remembering these are prototypes we were sailing, so not in anyway a criticism.

Sadly the Go Pros weren't on the grey sailed boat, I got some nice footage of russ sailing it though.  I'll post tonight when the internet upload speed is more Zero than Solo.

I had a similar discussion with my wife last night...  I reckon this boat will be the right impetus to sort out the post-uni beer belly (14 years after graduation  LOL)

I think sometimes you need a carrot or a stick to make you do it, I've had 13 months of the stick type encouragement so going for the carrot (and the Pinot in Pink) Tongue

Ironic- I hada couple of pink pinots last night, it washed down a lovely Chicken Pad Thai and griddles seafood patter.... that was the swan song of culinary delights for a while.  But highly recommended- The Giggling Squid, I think they have a few restaurants around the Brighton area, as well the one here to service the Thespians.... guess that explains the pink wine.  

Intensive weigh loss programme to start, chicken tikka salad for lunch.  Having chicken and tikka does not justify stooping so low as to have a salad, but needs must when you've got Finn desires but D-Zero money.
