Many thanks to John and Sue for organising and hosting the UK 'Nationals'. We all had a fantastic time and even managed to get John a life-ban from Pendine Beach! Such a shame that only 6 boats attended, but we had some really close racing! Here's hoping that more of you will join in what is bound to become an annual event.

Conditions varied from F1 and a choppy swell through to F4+ and large rollers. Seven really good races and uni's against sloops seemed to prove that the F16 concept works as the boats appeared to be fairly evenly matched in either configuration.

Once again, very many thanks to John and Sue and not forgetting John's parents, John Snr and Maggie who helped to make us very welcome and worked so hard throughout the weekend.
