Further to our performance last weekend at The F18 TT and European Qualifiers, I think you should also include 'Boat Preparation' as part of the training syllabus <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> MP*MULTIHULLS | | | Re: F16 Spring training

Posts: 954 Mumbles Y.C Wales U.K | It can all be explained in one proverb; Fail to prepare Prepare to fail. We borrowed a friends Nacra 18 are were hoping to do a bit of sailing prior to the event but due to the weather this never materialised. So we ended up missing the start of the 1st race, capsized whilst in fifth place in the 2nd race. Went ashore and did some boat tuning instead of competing in the 3rd race and finished 15th due to traveller problems, 12th and 9th in the subsequent races.

Over at the other side of the pond forcasts say sunny and 24 degrees celsius (=rather warm) and a force 3 wind (about 10 knots) blowing from the east (= no surf). In short a perfect forcast to remove the cogwebs and start the sailing season.
I'm going sailing this weekend ! And it will not be on my landyachts but my sailboat.

Posts: 3,528 Looking for a Job, I got credi... | Massive thanks to John for running this. Difficult conditions on Saturday but we still managed a few hours on the water and some hull flying at the end.
Plenty of boat bibmling on Sunday as no wind and then a Q+A session.
Thanks Again to John.
We also had a fun evening out in Windsor.
