Cheers to the Weston crew for an awesome weekends racing. Was good to get some boat speed testing against other cherubs as it's quite hard to find boats which have the same speed characteristics!

Got a bit of a leak it seems as there was about a persons weight of water in the boat once we finished the day, but still managed to clock in 18knots on the sail back to Netley!

I compared the GPS with a friends, showed the same. It was at Weymouth, dead flat water - and then a sudden squwal kiked in, twinin upwind with the entire top half of the main backed!!! As it was so flat, end of racing (student Nats) we jus went for the kite! The resuce rib, HUUUGE thing, well - they cudnt keep up! Just felt the water ripples banging the hull! It was emence - never got close to that feeling even in the 49er!!
