It is just Elodie (our eldest) and myself. BNS is off to ballet lessons (with our youngest). So our photographer will be absent. It is my first RS200 open and it is Elodie's first ever open she will have taken part in. Thanks for the encouragement Les, more later. ------------- Bonnie Lass Contender 1764 |

I made an appearance down at BBSC today but wasn't aware that there were any forumites down there! Hope you enjoyed it, from the shore it looked like everyone was having fun!

I was only there on work duties returning the trailer which was so kindly leant to us for the trip to Hyeres. I didn't realise anything was going on so didn't know to ask! Looked very shifty and gusty from the shore but I guess that makes good fun in those little 200's. Not so great in the cherub I don't think! Twin wire one second, then sat on the gunwhale... mmmm, love it!

Yes she did thank you Les. Our best result was 12 out of 17 and we were having a good battle at the back of the fleet. It all helped our boat handling and we finished every race - all 4 of them. Then I did 2 races in the Contender today and I am knackered!! Elodie chickened out today and stayed on the beach. ------------- Bonnie Lass Contender 1764 |

WHO??????????????????????????????????
Visibly, we don't have the same names for our children. I call her Elodie, and the little one Maëlle. Rings a bell? ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC
