25knots, doesn't look like it will get that high, waves should be good

Jeff/Darryn,

Good luck with the winter series.
Hope you can keep the cold out.

Jeff,

Was that you advertising the Lightweight Sharpie (monomaran) on ebay ?

Regards,

Peter

You've caught me out. But I've sold it now, never did sail it but it seemed like a good idea at the time. When I get back home I'll post a pic piggybacking it on top of my 5.8.

We raced at Adelaide yesterday, got the full 20knots and then some, enjoyed it so much I did an extra lap of the windward return course. 6 cats turned up and lots of dinghys. There was a photographer on the start boat I will post some pics as I get them.

Results showing my time for 4 laps, most sailed three, single handed dinghys sailed two and a shorter course.

Sadly I wasn't up to the conditions 700km driving, at the beach to set up 2.5 hours early, 20 minutes on the water. I dollyed out to just miss the rock wall, as soon as I cleared that a puff and set of waves sent me wave jumping while sitting on the tramp not hooked up. Before I had anything near contol we were over with a broken tiller extention and end of the day. I could only watch Daryn having all the fun. At least I've done my first righting of the 5.8 and got more experience under my belt I wont leave the beach again without hooking up. But I'll be back in August
