Had a nice sail last night. Last of the Wednesday night series this year. .. probably the best sail of the year
Very good wind and didn't capsize and did finish and not last !
Beat my maximum speed and did 1474 calories according to Polar !
So this is uncut .. apologies ..but you are saved from endless video as the camera times out after 30 minutes and I wasnt getting out to reset it ... Bit tricky getting out as there were catamarans launching everywhere and I was running a bit behind for the start. One of my wind indicators managed to drop off the mast and after rummaging in the water for a while gave it up for lost. Later the race officer was walking around with one and apparently it had been found and handed in !
Broke the downhaul on the sail ( the bit that de-poeers the sail in a blow ) so that was interesting
Sorry don't actually get in the boat 2 and a half minutes in so as to make a peaceful start
1st job is to make sure the rudder is fully down ..
4 and 3/4 minutes in you can see that I am in company ...
5 and a half minutes had issue with mainsheet under the stern !
6 minutes in was trying to time the start better this time ...
7 and a half minutes in quite a nice gybe ....
8 minutes in and you can see one laser behind me !
18 minutes in and he's catching up ;-) ...
Had a nice ding dong with him during the race and beat him in the end !
24 and half in and the waterskiers are busy doing their thing right through the fleet !
any way it qas a really good sail ...
