They're clearly having a great deal of trouble with the results. My own feeling is that it will be a while before there's something definitive. I don't envy them.

Going for their own handicaps was certainly a very big challenge because that leaves them the problem of identifying each class, highlighted by the observation that a number of sailors in the UK at well known catamaran clubs seem to have been sailing the US Tornado centreboard monohull class way above its normal speed potential rather than the International Tornado catamaran at its normal sort of speed...

I was told today we were doing quite well in the 2000's in the declared results so far. 6th of 150. I am sure we will drop down as still a lot of clubs still to declare. But quite surprising since we had both kids on board and had a reefed main as not to scare them, even though it turned out light. We did upset the laser reps in their Bahia catching them up at one point. But shows what a difficult job they have taken on with this data.

Just watched the boomcam vid from Sir Ben, love the bit when another 400 capsizes on top of him

Great video of Ben sailing a 400 (??)
Just found myself shouting at crew to 'help out' a little
Doesn't hike, doesn't move in when rig is coming on top, where is the kite......
Also she looks dressed more fitting for yachting rather than dinghy sailing.
That is also a very slim line buoyancy aid she must be wearing under her yachty jacket...... Just a thought?

Looked like a man having fun on the water with his other half (I assume) on a fairly windy day - both enjoying themselves (kite might have stopped crew having enjoying herself?), though I agree I'd have thought he'd have had access to more dinghy style gear. BA could be under... but unlikely?!

Enjoyed the boom cam though, which is rare - liked the port tack mark rounding, and liked that he left room for a Topper to do the same late on.

I think his engagement was announced around this time, if the kite had gone up all bets may have been off
