i was looking at the pictures of the feva nats earlier and i think you might have got the days wrong. the only day with half decent wind was the 3rd (sunday) and friday was just about the worst day for wind. its probably just me being to heavy for the boat but it realy wasnt windy at the feva nats def not a nice breeze. ------------- 600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it. Also International 14, 1318 |
