Liz and I manned a rescue boat again today, slow delayed start to the day lovely 6 to 12kt race before lunch, fantastic couple of races after lunch which finished in proper wind and 3ft chop. Enjoyed watching it, had to jump in and help right a boat so I can say I was on a Mozzy at the Nationals. A boat put a hole in another one at the wing mark I think, I didn't see it, redress protest tomorrow to be sorted out. Saw a boat run over and break another boats rudder from behind on Wednesday. Heard a bit of discussion that sounded to me like Mozzys are not using the new two boat length rule at marks still working on overlap. Few people have let their sheets off when capsized but the sheet hasn't run through so they can't right I waited untill all the other boats were gone and then told them to let sheet out and they pulled the sheet through, something to check if your boat wont come up pull the sheet through as the sail was full of water and the masts were bending at a fantastic angle. Gary was looking good today and decided to wash his sails but worked his way back through a fair bit of the fleet. The two young girls had a blinder in race one with a win by a fair margin.
