Hi Greg/Debra,
Difficult with my fingers to do to much posting by phone.

Yes there have always been sloop mossies racing with kite, that's the only way they race in South Africa, but as most Mossies race.cat rigged in OZ so do the Spinnaker boats.

Spinnaker titles ended up with just 4 races in one day. Only 3 boats started before the time limit expired for the first race, it was very windy and most didn't expect a start. The other 3 races the wind moderated from frightening to fresh by the last, with rig rattling gusts upwind. Daniel Stone sailed consistently faster upwinds than anybody else including the sloop. Matt Stone tried to follow my lead using the kite when most left them in the chute, but swam twice as a result. I finally came undone capsizing in the last run on what was the final gybe, the pack went past now all flying spinnakers as the wind had dropped a little and they got braver and that was the end of the racing. Daniel was incredibly consistent in difficult conditions, sailing more cautiously than me downwind but still put the spinnaker up more than most for a deserved result.

must go jobs to do on the boat, invitation race for no Spinnaker titles starts this arvo, wind is up already hope it's not to much like yesterday, that frown up the top is supposed to be here, b#@ phone.
