As I said right at the start, it was (is) a "high-tariff" manoeuvre - great gains when it goes right, but most def not when it doesn't.

Please note that I've not once tried to paint myself as whiter that white - I said right at the start that it was me at fault, putting the boat where I shouldn't have

2547 - yes... a bit hopeful, and yes a technique to be wary of in a mixed fleet. I have to say that with a gap beginning to appear, and not enough room to leeward the back the jib and main on the 400 due boats to port, I was convinced it would work - otherwise I wouldn't have gone for it. You live and learn, right?

...so let's move on, clearly lessons have been learnt and that's why we do this sport - Datchet should be a fun event! Who's going or is this time for a new thread?

Blimey!!! Now that's a proper scary video!

Can't make Datchet or Yorkshire, so our next one is Grafham.

That's not quite true though, is it?
When you first posted on this thread you stated that:- ".....b) the bloke in the RS400 to leeward saw fit to ensure that he shoved me in the said committee boat, causing some significant damage to my boat."
 
Subsequently you amended your testimony and blamed the wind for going right.
 
ps. Don't forget the spurs that go with the hat. Big smile
