Went for a spin in the most breeze I have been in for a while, about 17 maybe 18 knots! Even Glenny was coming for a play but he had some probs and didn’t make it off the beach. In any other class people would read that and go ‘wow he must have had a major’. In the moth fleet its normal for your sail to be over in 20 seconds sometimes, its just the luck of the draw. I think thats why there are not too many uptight dicks in the fleet.
Anyway, he took my boat for a bit of a sail, as he was keen to get out and do some sailing….. Rob turned up on the Assassin and rigged up. Had a good little sail with him and by the looks of it he has finally got it sorted to sail downwind without being killed and sent to heaven three or four times each run.
I had the thing absolutely wound up and was really motoring without having to spill, which is a first and it feels so good, more pies please. I cracked tacking again so thats an improvement. So all in all i learnt a lot, had a sweet as sail, saw a turtle, raced a kite surfing chick.. well actually, perved at her first then sailed past her! I was cruising upwind on 16 knots, amazing really comapred to two years ago when we thought 15 upwind was quick hey boys…. time flies!
Peace!
