End of Year Highlights

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?

For me it was the first time that I managed to take my triplet daughters out for a sail. All aged 3, so takes some handling, which is why we only did 15 mins of actual sailing in portsmouth harbour. But it's a start

Watching my 7 year old pracitising in his Oppie - he was standing up in the back of the boat and pumping it downwind copying the footage of the 470's in the Olympics.  He then went back up wind and did it all again and again and again.  Fantastic to watch, but it took me an hour to get the little b*gger to stop and come in!
