went out sailing today in the boiling hot north wales sun and not much wind was pretty boring, as soon as the club racing had finnished the sea breeze kicked in really strongly (an almost instant f4) and then it very quickly turned very stormy we were out in the scorp making the most of the wind before we had to head in early due to thunder and lightening very near, it then chucked it down REALLY hard for about an hour n a half floodin loads of the roads around our club. but its hot and sunny again now, talk about extreme weather! ------------- |

That sounds like a normal SIngapore sunday from April to October...the only time we get any wind to speak of at this time of year is because of the thunder storms. |

Went out in the 400 at the weekend... (pond in Oxford) strange kinda wind really. basically I think, an F2 but with 'holes.' For us 'newbies' it went a bit like this..... F2 then a sort of hole thingy that was F0 then up what felt like F5 though i guess was only F3 then back to F0 then F2, and after that you would start all over again. Could they have been thermals? and...... How hot! bet there are lost of these about  not red with rage...just RED!!  ouch sore! |

I won't get any better if racing keeps being blown off as it was today... We were supposed to have our annual Youth Regatta, and include as many novices as possible... You know the conditions are not ideal for novices when you see THIS on the water!

No sailing today, again! Too much wind, waves pounding on the beach... the swell's been building up for the last two weeks and we had a bit of a storm during the week... A fair bit of the beach got washed out and is still rolling in the waves.... Check out the colour! I hope it's going to get better before the end of the season

That would be the mid-1980s Rondar version, then... (to quote Contender443 who's reading over my shoulder and turning into an anorak). That particular boat has a blue stripe in the middle, and had a big chunk of ice on the deck yesterday:

At the (would have been if not for the weather) RS Persuit race last weekend there was too much fog for us to even see the water!!  But once everyone packed up and were going home, the fog cleared and a breeze got up.

We had a nice force 3 this morning down in Plymouth, a bit gusty though, looks like it will be blowing old boots this weekend though. Had a nice sail in an Omega (  ), had to race them with something wrong, ie centreboards up, as part of our course analisis on boat design, was a real good laugh------------- Dennis Watson 49er GBR735 http://www.helensburghsailingclub.co.uk/ - Helensburgh S.C http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/home.php3?affid=560 - Boat Insurance from Noble Marine |
