Hi all,

Before starting today's notes, must make mention of Nicks efforts yesterday in performing a perfect clean dismount from boat, whilst gybing and setting spinnaker perfectly so “Bite Me” proceeded to sail away without capsizing for hundreds of metres, quite a effort in the relatively strong winds.

Three races where held today to finish off the Mosquito Spinnaker National Titles, starting shortly after 11am and finishing about 1pm. Winds where true to forecast from the west, south west to south at 12 to 20 knots, with a small chop. Wind shifts caused some quick changes in places and after breaking their hound fitting the day before the “Splashes of Brilliance' crew got the opportunity to show what a sloop rig can do with spinnaker, winning a race and spending plenty of time at the pointy end of the fleet in the other races, some great racing was had sloop versus cat rig, hammering upwind and down, boat for boat as it should be. Again the wind caused a few capsizes, but thankfully never became too strong whilst racing was on, later in the afternoon it set in at about 30 knots. As more mossies arrived for the no spinnaker Nats.

Forecast is looking good for the start of racing again on Sunday, not too windy (we hope).
