Temperature didn't go above 6 degree C there were patches of ice on my boat cover when I took it off. But hey the sun was out and it was blowing around 12mph (perfect!!). I would like to say it was an enjoyable race but I had a good start between a Cork 1720 and a Dart18, left them behind very quickly and my main rival on a F18 tried for a Port flyer but failed miserably. That was the end of the race!! I was gone, by the end of the fourth lap I had lapped 1 Dart 18 and 1720 and was probably at least 2 mins ahead of the F18. A pretty boring story I know but my new flatter main was superb today. Fully trapped out and playing the main/downhaul upwind was what wet dreams are made for <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> and downhill the lightness of the platform is just fantastic in the 2 foot swells. The next race is scheduled for Mothers Day. I'd better start behaving myself!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
