THe dogs never show up! - It used to be called the Cat & Dinghy series - do I still need to clarify who the dogs are?

The races were really short, the last wind because the wind suddenly came up with a 45degree shift, pulled the race time down to 13 minutes - no chance for anything.

We ran a starboard course because of the limits of the racing area on the day. Next outing will be a port course. We are restricted between a land mass and a shipping channel so we were forced to squeeze the course in between all that.

As for the rainy weather. We are in our Southeast Monsoon period which means our northern Changi side of the island is a bit sheltered. Also the unstable weather pattern means that it can change. We had 3 races in 3 different wind strengths. By the end of the year the wind swings to Northeast and then we move to another racing area which is a big river mouth - flat water, 20+ knots!

But on the day in question, the 1st to races were dry R1 in okay wind, R2 in light wind, R3 started just as a passing squal opened up with rain drops as big as...and as is normal around here, after the rain there is no wind!

It'd be good if you can comw down for our Monsoon Cat Cup and F-16 Challenge in Jan/Feb next year. Then we do have good racing weather.
