Hi Darryl,

hope you have thawed out. I guess it probably was cold standing around on shore, as a sailor I didn't notice it that much, as the racing was HOT on the water in all meanings of the word <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. One of the things that make spinnaker one up sailing so challenging is that you never stop working it certainly tries out my aerobic fitness, I often came off the water out of breath over the weekend, it kept me warm, until time for a shower then I got cold.

I think you forgot to mention the capsize in the race before the altercation with the Tornado, was it the result of a nose dive, I only saw the F14 over as I righted "Altered" from a nosedive then capsize, it was a huge gust.

You missed the best sight of the weekend Monday morning, when Greg did a full on cartwheel on the Capricorn pushing to hard after going back after breaking the start. It was one of the best I have ever seen on Flat Water <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

There where only 3 Mossies with spinnakers there a bit dissapointing, but some of those that didn't turn up had good excuses, but after having at least 6 at last years F16 title it was a dissapointment.

Regards Gary.
