Happily living in the past

Yep, sailing at Hunts SC in Cambs  yesterday it was seriously windy though. Our resident Phantom hotshot was bemoaning his lack of pies (he only weights 77kg). The D-Zero went really well and I was with him for most of both races but he just got away in the first race after I have a moment on a gybe.

Also don't forget the hardy 70 odd that were at Rutland for the Tiger.

We did the morning race at Whitefriars, and I tested out the storm sail I shortened a mast for, but really only because I wanted to see if it worked. A few big gusts, but I think we were between storms. By the afternoon, it was pretty nasty. I had to go home anyway, but I don't think a race happened.

Nope we called it off, but then the girls in the Feva just went out to play, I sulked off home feeling disgusted with myself for not going out to join them.

And? Does it work?

I assume this is on the Minisail? How much did you take off the mast?

Funny I was running exactly that thought through my head, thinking about putting up a windsurfer rig, I must get some varnish and finish these bloody foils...

Some awesome sailing was had at Bough Beech.

Lots of boats, lots of swimming and sadly one mast busted.

Very sailable most of the time however.
