The epic run from Marconi SC to Colne Point with the lime green B14 chasing us. The slog back was hard work, but the downhill ride was unbelievable.

Personally I found that elusive sweet spot rig setting, still yet to get that 1st race win but several 2nds this year I'm happy with, also delivering the 2012 J/80 Worlds (in Dartmouth) to 76 boats...pretty happy with that. In the wider sailing world, seeing Ben pick up his last Olympic gong, but for me VSR2 smashing the speed record without a doubt is the sailing highlight of 2012  :)

As 2012 draws to a close, thought it might be good to start a thread focusing on the dinghy sailing highlight, or highlights of the year. I know the Olympics was excellent and Wiggo won the tour, and Andy Murray won a major and, and, and.... but it's dinghy sailing in this case!

For me, top was racing for the first time with my son in the summer and sailing around the cans with my dad as well, same day.  Second was a very memorable three-sail reach down the harbour in spring-time, still making me grin now.

What about yous?
