A healthy dose of humble pie.....

Defi Wind an extension of the old North One Hour classic we used to run for meatheads that can't think, Speedsailors love it. Unfortunately we don't quite have the reliability of the Mistral (the French wind) with which to guarantee the annual participation.

There was a year the Hayling event had that sort of wind, but it's very unusual, particularly at that time of year.

And anyway you'd fall off at the gybe and get in everyones ways, probably be fin slashed to death and I'd get the blame for encouraging you.
