that catarmaran rig looked odd, low aspect but a huge roach. still 32 miles in 4 hours, averaging 8 knots thats not as fast as i would have expected, but still quite quick.
600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.
Also International 14, 1318

That is quite an impressive capsize and recovery.  I remember being at datchet in silly winds (why i wasn't sailing that day) but Nick and Toby went out and when they came back they just complained about how datchet is too small to have a good kite reach

That is the problem with inland waters! or even worse you run out of water just at the wrong moment!

Not generally a problem on Rutland! (Was soooo looking fwd to taking the 'ball to the Classic, 'cept its not on this yr ).

I think those two perhaps had the reverse problem - that scenery is going by at a fair old rate....

Trapezing - I hope you've seen "Higher and Faster".  As for the B14 videos - they are great - it looks like a great boat, I must have a go on one soon.

I second Higher and Faster - I've got it and it's a great watch... unfortunately it makes you want either a 800 or 49er
RS300 - 346 :D
