Cracking Day.

   Your cheapest route would be to try and get hold of one of those big F2's there are a couple at our club although they are cannibalising them for the tracks and centreboards, but they do the job for your weight group and work well on flatter inland water.

Either that or see if any of the sponsored long term loan dudes have got to ante up at the end of the season for their Starboards with the wing things on the back.

	glad to hear it - I'm now on the hunt for a decent condition raceboard, so if you hear of anyone wanting to upgrade down your way, then please drop me a mail. I'm going to try a couple of the LWA events over the next year- as was always the plan for 2014 - until the diary clashed with nigh-on every single one of them!

	Well done again James, I won my first actual cup thing sailing a dinghy single handed, turned out is was the 'senior' prize but it'll do as a starter. They raced the Hythe Festival trophy for us as we sailed the same course as the Snipe Open five minutes after them. I didn't manage to beat the bloody Merlin even though I held them up the first beat twice, once they get that kite up, they're gone but I did beat a couple of our better Lasers on handicap so i was pleased about that, it just goes to show that EPS is a sea boat.

	15th out of 96 in the Freeride Fleet at NWF.... I'll take that thanks, especially given it was 5 knot drifters. Cheers Graeme for all your advice and help over the years. Jimbo

Yep, Conditions as described. Brilliant sailing.

	We are running our 3 evening Solstice regatta and for once the first two days have not been blown off or so light you cant make over the tide, and whats more the sun has been out.Summer evening racing is just brilliant. We have also had good turnouts with a separate trainee/ novices start and smaller course for them. Just tonight to go fingers crossed the weather stays good.

	Not exactly a cracking day, but I had my arse handed to me by that Laser again down the lake just as I thought I'd got everything dialled, that's what i like about sailing, however good you think you're becoming - you're not. Damn near got overhauled by a Solo and a Streaker in one of those puffs that bring the whole fleet down while you're sitting in a hole with nothing... Don't you just love those moments?

	Cracking evening! Last night no expectancy of wind. Turned up at the club on a wonderful evening, threw 14 boats on the water expecting wind to die any moment....but it stayed in! The surrounding hills, the sunset, our little country pub, my brilliant friends. I sailed sh*t of course....but I am used to that!

	We had a fair turnout for our RNLI race despite overcast skies and a return to winter wetsuits with the water temp exceeding the air temp encouraging a few to go for a swim mid gybe..

	Oh no no they got a superb view of me sailing my new boat to perfection!! Have to say lots of people out sailing really enjoyed the show, the noise of all those Rolls Royce etc aircraft engines was just fantastic.
