That was about as good as racing gets on a lake, good wind with good gusts in about 30 degrees, even the morning race which started as a typical drifter turned into pretty good wind, got to see Matrix with the new spinnaker setup and caught him on vid washing it for the first time, will have to include that when I get the vid up. I've been taking the family to that regatta for a few years now and I was impressed by how many new boats were there but surprised by how many of the old boats didn't turn up basically a lot of 16ft's didn't show and a lot of new 18ft and over showed. I found the 18ft skiff guys easy to get along with and they were about the same speed as the cats around the course so would welcome them in the same start at any regatta I turned up to
