Well I tried my luck today on the new mossie and it wasnt to bad a day and thats where it ended.

First race missed the start and went backwards quickly. Then while out on trap got smack by the wake of a motor boat and pitch poled in typical William fashion. Unable to right the boat recieved help by the rescue boat dnf 1st race.
second race went a bit better (finished this one). Upwind went very slow and down wind went even slower. No matter what I did I had a c#$p looking main. I couldnt get enough purchase on the main from the centre sheeting position, there was something in the range of 3/4 of a metre from block to block. I found the rudders very hard to turn as well going up wind and down wind. Every time I went to tack the boat would stall.

Thats my whinge for tonight, alot more tuning needed for the states and national titles.

Next regatta for the sydney people would be the heartstarter regatta at Palm Beach CC on the 25/8 so if there are any sydney mossies wanting a sail here your chance for you to get rid of the cob webs.

Ciao
William
