I am pleased to report that 3 sailors will now be attending the sprint nationals at Instowe , Ed Tuite , Jan Elfring and myself . Thanks to the ultimate Fathers day present - a pass out for the nationals Jan will be joining us !
As part of our intensive training regime we went for a blast last evening in excellent 14knot winds . Due to over excitement Jan decided to T bone a fireball on the start line
Excellent prep for the nationals
The best performance of the evening came from Ed who performed the quickest capsize and righting on record . Approaching the finish linen Ed was flattened by a gust and cleated main sheet
I was about 50yds behind him yet he still managed to right his boat ( I estimate in about 60secs) , finish the race and beat me by 1/2 a boat length
Looking forward to Instowe , is there a list of attendee's
