Dunno - spent most of my time underwater - it was rough! Fun in a fairly scary way. Can only report on the weather.

Saturday 1st race was probably F4-5 later dropping to F4. Sunday morning start was a good F5 with nasty gusts which must have been well over 30 knots at times. Only 2 races on the Sunday after wind abatted slightly to around 20-25 knots dropping slightly afterwards.

At least Jet took the punishment with only a few snags this time and one completed race - definately more practice needed!

Doesn't look very windy in the pictures :wink:

Sounds like it was slightly challenging though. Well done John.
