What handicap rating do they think we are? Do they think we are slower than the L4k hence a different course? |

Quality weather, excellent racing and good race management. So far this year has been the total opposite of all events last year (wind and weather wise that is).
Come on Calshot keep up the standards!

Congrats Neil and Nick - again !!! At least we got one shot at showing you that you can't have it all your own way !!!
Looking forward to Rob and Russ' race report - should make exciting reading as the conditions were second to not very many and the close racing both in the ISO fleet and between fleets was huge fun.
The I14s are seriously impressive to watch - but interesting to note that the ISOs, having started 6 minutes ahead of them finished some 7 to 8 minutes ahead in at least a couple of the Saturday races - an overall course gain of 1 to 2 minutes. The ISO's no slouch - as if any ISO sailor doubted it...
For those of you who chose to believe all the forecasts of light winds and didn't come along, you really missed a treat. It was Frosties advert GRRRRRRRRRRRRRReeeeeeeaaaaaatttttttt !!!!!!!!!

Agree with all that has been said above. Great venue - can't wait to go back!
Does anybody know whether the TASA event in Weymouth on 12/13 July is likely to take place?

I loved Weymouth it was a great weekend, and very well organised. Camping just a fiver a night and meant you could have your vehical closer to the boats. A good well organised meal. I think we should've had our nationals there that same weekend like some of the other classes. We would probably have had a really good turn out. |
