Topic: Cracking Day. Posted: 12 Apr 15 at 4:40pm |
Cracking day today. Running race training, but too windy to get anything done but mind capsized boats while they had an awesome sail. Borrowed daughter's Topper for final race of day, when it was gusting high 30s according to the annenometer. An interesting combo of fun and bricking myself. Just 2 of us out, me and a Phantom. He swam, I didn't...

I'm late to the party on this, but I'll have to say 'oooohh, very nice'. I've got one of those, but much more beaten up, with bits of skin cracking and falling off. What rig do you have or will you get?

a cracking day -
1) had a nasty looking mole chopped out of my arm 2) exchanged contracts on my house move and most importantly 3) deal agreed on a new sail racing device... for two hundred quid: |

Cracking weekend with Whitefriars Juniors down at WPNSA, sailing from the Andrew Simpson Sailing Centre. Even though it is some of the same people as when it ws sailaser, the enthusiasm, motivation, teaching skills and friendliness of the staff were fantastic. If you have a group looking for a place to go for a weekend away, couldn't recommend it highly enough.
And as usual WPNSA reception were great at organizing the lunches and dinner despite the ever changing numbers, and the catering was just what we needed - plentiful and tasty! Stayed at Cove Holiday park, after a couple of years of fairly grotty bunk houses and hotels. Really, really nice, sea views, use of cafe for the Saturday night, friendly warden. All in all, with the sun out, all we could have done with was a little more breeze at times, though there was always enough to get out there, and on occasion there was enough to be perching in a serious manner... |

I'll mail you details, but yes, the track is the biggest 'issue' to check for sure. The centreboard looks a little knackered, but I might treat myself to a new carbon custom one...

Check the track still works OK and the centreboard, they are the two things most likely to fail or have failed and bodged to work after a fashion.
Starboards also have centreboard issues, our guy had to give up a race yesterday and came ashore cursing his Phantom saying he'll have to take it apart to get the centreboard out and back in after it jumped it's track. Centreboards and Tracks.. biggest problem area. |

I'm hoping to pick one up next week mate- an F2 Lightning for 300 quid.
It will need some cosmetic attention, enough to re-instate 'pimp club'...
