ok peoples,

thursday was windy again, but still nice and warm.
1st rae we stuffed up the start but went out on port and paid off and got 2nd around the top mark, but still mistakes on the boat and the self tacking jib track broke one end so more time down, in the end we got 4th.

2nd race, was much the same but 10 knots of tide, we had a good start, but the top boats are tough to beat, and it was a close race and got a 4th.

Friday last 2 races.
Windy again, 20 knots plus, first race we trie to do a practice start at 5 min to go, and hit the pin marker and broke the locking mechanism and s the rudder came up no steering and turtled it, Another case of beer to the fellow sailers(DAMN) Got it up and and started sailing as my crew was roping the rudder in its box, and we end up getting a 7th

Mean while daniel and andy had to pull out as a missing bolt to the diamonds had gone twang and both wires were swinging. so no racing for them.

2nd race, was same wind prob heavier, with weather helm we did quite well, good start and was 4th around the top mark, the breeze came lighter and we caught up and managed to pip 3 boats on the last leg (it was tight comp) and got a 2nd.

In the end UNKO got 4th overall, didn't to to badly with all the problems we had.

party time now, ill ill se you guys in the real world next week

Matt
