Nothing damaged in the dinghy park this morning, but a (shielded) gust of 30.5 knots on the anemomenter recorded over night

I'm glad we have lots of trees / hedges round our boat park ... keeps us quite protected.

But ... just after the racing, our anemometor picked up a gust of over 35 knts ... and it underreads by quite a bit!

A small tree fell over during the racing as well .. kinda worried me a bit.

Nice balancing act those Cats are doing there ( especially the one in the background ... a mast tip and a transom! )

Also: OUCH. That Mast ... Must have cost a bit to replace.
