I know this was a long time ago but we have only just got a DVD player so only just seen the DVD of this training event with the benefit of the sound - it's great. We want to say a big thanks to all those who helped, firstly of course to Andy Holmes for his training, videoing and his very pertinent commentary, to Chris H for driving the rib, to Andy Holmes's son, Josh, who did a lot of the technical wizardry to create the DVD and added the groovy music, and of course to all the sailors - fantastic.
Being able to see us attempting to put in to practice what we had learnt was great - the mast bend, sail twist, position in boat, manoeuvres etc - and of course always good to capture Penny and Roger capsizing as they don't do it in competitions enough for our liking! Actually I don't wish swims on them - we just need to cut down the number of times I dunk us in.
Thanks again.
Happy gybing
Jane and Mark

You hid this message well Jane!!
We often re-visit that DVD as well - it reminds us what not to do when gybing! In fact we've now perfected the art of aborting the ones that look/feel as though they are going the same way as the one in the video clip!*! Echo what you said about Andy and the team. It was a very helpful weekend, and one which we should repeat for all new and developing crews on a regular basis.
I think Jean-Paul siad he was trying to organise another at Chew sometime - any luck J-P??
Jane - we managed to pitchpole at Roadford on Sunday (luckily no damage), so if we get good winds for the Bank Holiday weekend you may just see us swimming again....!

J-P ....A Great idea.....let's have an early season coach/train/race w/e.....surely it can't blow as hard as it has the last two times!!!
Best you lobby Andy H!?
Shame you can't make Roadford.

i will have a word with andy, the commitee at chew and see what i can sort out. i know that there would be at least 3 boats from chew who would want some training. Sorry about not being able to make it to roadford so am going to try to get to the inlands instead. |

Hi,
We have recently purchased a buzz and I think it would be really helpful for us to see other people sailing them to get some tips and see if we are doing anything wrong! Would I be able to buy a copy of this DVD from someone?
Anyone with info could post it here or email me on buzz755@goglemail.com
Many Thanks,
Rich

Your best bet is to speak to Andy Holmes at Wet & Windy in Bristol (Andy@Wet-Windy.co.uk)He took the video and therefore has the master.....
Better still you could come and meet us at an event....Buzzes will be at Langstone (Nr Hayling)23-24 September and at King George (London) 14-15 October....hopefully training at Chew or Oxford in new year
.....there's always Roadford we have 7 Buzzes and race every Sunday...
