An event where we all turn up with a new one-off or a much modded boat... love the thought of it, can picture the carnage in my head, but it was trouble enough getting a couple of dozen of us together sailing whatever we had handy.
My "moment" on Saturday was realizing that our glorious leader was trying to fit a unique boat that didn't belong to him into a foot wide gap between the committee boat and my Minisail. Normally, I'd have shouted a lot and allowed him to turn his steed into carbon splinters, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, not to Mark and the Punk, so I gave him some room and sailed myself into a hole instead... no good deed goes unpunished! Not sure whether the Punk or the X1 was my favorite boat of the weekend - would love to get a chance to sail them both one day - it was all a bit busy on Saturday - too much chatting to do! Next time, I'm hoping for planing conditions so the Minisail can lift her skirts,and more importantly, I can still have knees that work the next morning. |

Sounds like a good weekend, hope it doesn't clash with too much next year and a few more of us will try and make it. We had a long wait for wind today at Chew for the Top Club, but we got a couple of races in this afternoon.
Looking at the pictures I don't think I've seen Ian look so miserable, and I was trying to work out why as with beer on the table it couldn't be that, so this was the only thing I could think of....
