The Solo's had a training session in the morning, in perfect conditions, but by the time we launched for the club race, it was survival conditions- I heard Chimet was reading gusts of F7.

Like I said, on Friday I spoke to people assuming they'd be sailing in harbour, although in fairness, it was pretty crowded with club racing, oppie training and out-of-control keelboats from Itchenor.

It says in the rules that its not up to an ood to decide if you go out or not! Well not exactly but its your responsibility to decide based on your own abilities!

True, it is no-ones fault but your own if you set out in conditions in which you cannot cope. it is the helms responsibility to decide wether the conditions are managable, and the boat is 'sea worthy' .

Hardly Toppers fault -

1.If people ignore the advice to avoid the Hayling Bar it's their own fault not

 

Toppers (I recall a Fireball Nationals with 20+ broken masts in similar conditions). I've been thro the bar in 'very interesting' conditions (mixture of stupidity and bravado) and despite surviving intact certainly wished I hadn't.(Gone over the bar that is).

2. Topper aren't sailing the boat, they aren't the ones capsising and sticking the mast  in the sand.

3. Topper don't even make the masts! - So it's more likely Selden or Superspars who manufacture - but see 1 & 2 above.

Anyone -  in any boat - who capsizes on the bar when it's at its worst and survives with just broken battens is incredibly lucky!

Thank Jebus we aren't doing any events there.........Holy Christ we are!!!!   (maybe it's just a marketting ploy for Topper, "We do extreme boats but..............." (fill in the last of that sentence if you wish..........)

(or maybe it is, we tried to build High Performace boats but..........)
