Been too busy sailing to come on here for a while, but if anyone(?) wondered who I am, there are two good pics on the Y+Y Solo nationals report: image numbers 3 and 8, and if anyone is clever enough to put them on here, great! I waited ages and nothing happened. No 3 sums it up.... |

Yeah, I have finished 4 of 5 races in 5-6, and it's been "challenging". The bottom one was the end of race 4 for me, timid gybe, long swim, game over! As you say,"remember don't sail like a twat". Actually I was just knackered... ------------- |

If you look at the end of page 10 and the beginning of page 11 (I think) on the fotoboat gallery, there is a whole sequence, finishing with me on the turnturtled hull. I know it's sad, but finding myself on the Y+Y site is a bit exciting! ------------- |

Nah, the 300 went much faster and more spectaclear than that! I should have learned the technique of not doing that, in the 300... ------------- |
