sailed it for about an hour over the weekend at Rutland (Put hole in Spi on the 2nd lap of the first race and by the time I'd fixed it the 3rd race had started; Woke up this morning feeling awful and could not cope with yotting)
We wondered where you'd got to. You missed a good day's racing.
After a pretty frustrating day on Saturday when we weren't anywhere near the groove, let alone in it, we started off much better on Sunday. I think a few beers and 10 hour's sleep might have had something to do with it... We started to give the Spitfires some trouble - on the water, if not on handicap - and managed 2nd in race 4. We were doing OK in race 5 when we suffered a "minor" technical fault and had to get towed in. Let's just say that there was one less thing to do before putting the boat on the trailer.
Despite the technical problems we had a great weekend, and it was good to get back up to Rutland - a very nice spot to sail.
