So far…. not so good

Interesting start to the season. I went out about 7-8 times and only finished 2 sails without braking anything.  Mostly little things like linkages and wand bits, but quite unusual for someone as obsessive compulsive about my boat as I am…

In the races I did complete, I did ok. Dave still has an edge on boatspeed and has won most St George races. Last weekend at Belmont Nathan was really impressive. He won all 3 races of the regatta even though his boat wasn’t the fastest. Dave’s was, but he snapped his magic wand so I finished 2nd.

This weekend I’ll be doing some 16ft skiff racing and getting my boat back together after more breakages on Wednesday. New gantry is also on the way as is a new sail/mast combo and yet another version of my wand. Lots happening, with exactly 5 weeks till the boat leaves for Perth Nationals.
