What we really sail

Originally posted by jeffers Originally posted by tink Everyone struggles against a Solo inland In our Easter Egg races over the weekend it was won by a Solo. he led 2 of the races on the water and didnt seem to drop back at all until the wind picked up in the final race when the quickers boats could get on the plane.This was against significantly faster boats as well (Laser, D-Zero, RS300). He is a very good sailors but is he that much better than the other sailors in the other boats? Just musings.

We had a guy down the lake in a particularly fast woody, that in light conditions just ghosted by everyone even other later model plastic Solos, it had to be to do with the particular rocker of that build, the helm was a Silver Surfer Old School Bandit in a lake of Bandits, Miracles Streakers etc obviously knew what it was he was buying.

When it's light different rules apply if you can't muscle your way about.. bloody annoying.
