For context - Burghfield SC is well known to many of you  and has just about 180 acres of usable water. 

Works for most classes both single sail and asymetric but has proved tough for the singlehanded trapeze boats  in the past and double trapeze ones would be unlikely to work well either...  Fireballs, 500's and similar seem fine as do most 'general purpose' asymetrics and regular hiking spinnaker boats.

I can (from personal experience) confirm that Burghfield is NOT a suitable puddle for your first go in your new 49er - that expansive 180 acres, suddenly feels like 170 acres of islands and 10 acres of water  Wink

wouldn't you light yourself up on a pylon with something as high as a 49er mast? always makes me nervous how they buzz when you're near them at BSC

And now something for Peaky ... since he did ask.  Taken earlier today in ... well what can we say, the sort of conditions that simply will not lodge in the memory in the 'do not delete' part for very long ...
