In many respects the best boat I ever owned [/QUOTE]
But you haven't owned an AltO, and do you mean the V3000. I thought the AltO is fast becoming the largest fast class at your Club. I wonder why? |

I'm sure Grumph is aware that is quite unfair. About as unfair as the Osprey at 944. Mind you the AltO prerformance well surpasses all expectations, not just fast but well mannered and flexible regarding all up crew weight. Geoff and I sail it at 145Kg only and with a combined age of only 15 kg less than that. |

Sorry I did not answer your point. We certainly looked hard at that option, but still would not work with forgoing other advantages |

How windy was it this year?
I've had a few people tell me it was quite windy, but having a quick look at the times, they seem rather slow in comparison to last year and as I recall it was pretty breezy.

It was a strong Westerly Wind which meant a dead run, which had the fast cats and assyms zig zagging downwind, then a beat all the way up the swale, in a SW or NE the two prevailing winds that bring fast times, both the long legs are fast reaches.
