So how was it for everyone?

I saw Chris in the X1 go for a swim or two, Russ in the D1 inspect his hull on the water, a story about Tim G mucking about and having to take a trip to A and E ( from two different people) and us in the 200 survived the gusts, the lulls and finished without swimming.

Fantastic racing, excellent and helpful volunteers who ensured 340 entries were able to park, eat, launch, race and go home happy. For me, the Bloody Mary was very well run and will be back again.

Just seen the results, they have put me as OCS, to me I finished at 226 position. 
The start of 30 when the RS200 started I was back from the line, but a lot of the 200s were on or over the line. It doesn't bother me though.

Was it windy then? I tried to load the web cam and all day the forecast on their site only showed maximum 12 kts and it wasn't that breezy down here.

Well the Boy got 8th Radial, and 126th overall and thoroughly enjoyed his day.
 
As a spectator, I thought the event spectacular - much kudos to the QM young lady in the Topper who led until 20 mins to go, and to the overall winner who sailed superbly to take the lead and hold it for the last 17.
 
The Boy is a bit chuffed with beating Russ too. Wink
 
Edited to add;  HUGE thanks to the army of voluteers, from the RO to the Car Parking Marshals, who all worked so hard to make a virtually seamless event Clap Thumbs Up

I had a quick look at the wind speed data for the day and it doesn't look like it got anywhere near as windy as it was forecast to be.  Still cold though.  Well doen to all those who made it.
the same, but different...

Windy enough later on when I had my kite up I on the reach from no. 3 to 4. Absolutely flying, but no it really towards the mark :-P

Finished 187th due to far too many capsizes.

Not impressed by the merlin on the beat to the finish that squeezed me so close to the wind my rig stalled and I ended up in an almighty tea bag only 5 lengths from the line too. Grade A Nimrods!

Organisation was spot on this year shore side so big well done to Queen Mary.

Aren't you supposed to stop racing when the gun goes, then sail procession style to the finish point ahead?
